Scribbled Thoughts

Aching back

to remind of failure.

It’s getting harder

to stand straight

after each signal.

Is it more comfortable

laying

on the ground?

A blackout

to highlight the importance

of trying

and remembering

the voices

behind the end product.

Is this enough?

Or is this

relationship over?

Teach a barrier

and surpass the expectation,

pride and acknowledgement

lifting away darkness

and settling your soul

to the future.

Sink into the isolation

of the forgotten corner,

only remembered

when requests

demand an audience.

Has your mind

awoken in time

to feign interest?

Count the days

expected of loneliness

and hard work,

note the unhurried response

on those unaffected.

Perhaps it’s time

you did the same.

Deliberate on why

they gave you life

and watch passively

for you to choose

your way.

Are you strong enough

to stand alone

and find

a real purpose?

Resist nature

with a waterproof coating,

will it protect

or restrict?

Step outside

and find out.

Repeat a lesson

to understand

what the path

should have been.

Is it too late?

Knowledge beyond

the expected

lets you step back

and observe,

waiting for them

to notice,

to catch up,

to understand

who you really are.

Carriage of guilt

built to trap you

into forgiveness,

do you accept?

Or keep struggling

for a little longer?
