Scribbled Thoughts

Gaze at innocence

already polluted with ambition

to satisfy needs

they don’t understand,

but they continue to defile

everything around them

until nothing is clean

and they are too dirty

to rinse away the shame.

Settle in

to a whole new existence,

forget all you were

and bend to the new reality,

be shaped and see

what’s left of an

individual,

if they ever existed

to begin with.

Puncture your relief

and live dangerously,

no safe guard for support,

just the wild

with the reckless one

charging towards it.

Two patterns for two abilities,

combined into one person,

who is strong enough

to control them

but not confident

in expressing

who they really are,

and why

the protection matters.

Heal for a day,

forget who you are,

soak in a story

and pause to refuel

while filtering knowledge

to another.

Influence as the

real you.

Rush to celebrate

the stale air

filled with heavy breathing

and concealed impatience,

stand and sweat out

all productivity

until only dizzy remains

and you sink through the ground

in defeat.

Possibility of expansion

earlier than expected,

apprehension but underlining hope

that a bouncing presence

will calm and settle

all others,

because it’s not only one

who is unsettled.

Take an extra day

to hide and heal,

hoping life will be kinder

or you’ll at least feel stronger

to compete in a world

of fingers pointing

everywhere but themselves.

Return to a forgotten role

of freedom to be unhinged,

say whatever you want

and regret nothing,

the world will bow to you.
