Boy! Re-reading this really hit home! I wrote this last year and while I do still find much in common with this poem, my attitude is most certainly more optimistic. Hope you all enjoy :)
Dizzyingly disconnected from the world I inhabit
Reality is so close I can almost grab it
But with a mind clouded by haze
I stumble over words, and destroy a phrase
Sometimes it’s hard to see meaning in this
A life unfulfilled; away its been pissed
The times that days are clear
Are welcome changes that I fear
Not because clarity is something to despise
It’s a revelation I’d rather not realize
Because the days that follow are the worst of all
An attainment, in which I wish to stall
It’s an awful reminder of what one can be
When locked in a cage and never set free

This hits home for me too. Lots of depth here.
ReplyDeleteI most appreciate your addendum comment. It is vital to remember that despair and feelings of futility are almost always fleeting.
