Adulthood

Adulthood


Went missing for
several years.
Life had went through
a fermentation period. 

Where did it go?
Who authorized it to leave?

Autopilot became
a regular thing.
Smiling on the outside-
but dying a little more each day.

Watching it in everyone else,
but it had left me,
or I had left it
years ago.

Faith and Spirit crushed
as Autopilot succeeds.
Stuck in a hole that was
never once foretold.

No ladder,
No rope.

As I’m in this hole,
my shoes start to sink
into this mud filled
with maggots and worms.

This thing that
I had lost is so far gone
to the point where
I can’t see it.

I can’t feel it.
I can’t even conceive it anymore.

Is it completely gone?
Is it near?

Please,
Please come back to me.

I think
I might
have lost it.

I lost my dream.

Inside My Mind



Inside My Mind

Silence.
A poet’s music.
Dare I say,
ecstasy.

Fresh air-
a body’s sweet liquor.
Free for all to whom
may get drunk.

Breeze makes the
nipples hard and
hair on the arms
stand sharp.

Sun playing hide-and-seek
with the trees
seeks solace in the
magnitude of this world.

This is what one
craves to do
on their day off:
to Live.
