"Perspective Busted"
Stupid values stapled
into my brain before
I even knew
what thinking was.
Mood swings
like a metronome
like a drunken
jay-walker,
we are all spinning all
at once in circles
we didn't create.
Wake up from
not sleeping
with a head full of
empty words
and an
empty stomach
full of broken pasts.
Swallow your fear
and
tell her how you feel
karmic lessons of
love repeat.
The sands of moments
waiting to break free
from the hourglass
and rest
where they land,
where does the time go?
It runs away
like an
over-excited
puppy later to be
found dead
run over on
the highway of
existence
contemplation of the
absence
worse fates than
solitude,
loneliness
even when not alone
the ache daily has returned
to taunt the hope
momentarily resurfaced
fated to fade into
the void you've got
something that belongs
to me
I give it away
so easily
finite energy
lift it higher
to share the light
in this very dark place
sustaining
everyone except myself.
