Scribbled Thoughts

Calculate your substance

and prepare its release

to survive the day

in the right way.

You are trying,

and that counts

for everything.

Travel through

any pain

to carry on

and hope again.

It sounds simple enough,

so why is it

so hard today?

Digitalise the future

and remove feeling,

a sense now overrated

to connect with the world.

Won’t you miss

the soothing paper

across your hand

or the grip

of solid ink

expressing

all you desire.

Alone to construct

an appealing area

and invite others

to see your worth.

Is there enough energy left

for you to care

if they do?

Moan at the peace

and shatter the solitude

needed to regroup,

gain resolve

to tackle the impossible.

Drag through the task,

hoping the day

will be surprising.

Take the comfort

for yourself

and forget

who originally needed it.

Do you feel better

watching them struggle?

Wait for a name

to be mentioned

and smile away hurt

when it is left empty.

Its place has disappeared

and you must

walk away

with it.

Remember the pressure

to mold your routine,

providing a living

while dreaming

of other adventures

and lives

that formed

a change.

Shift from sand

and salty scent

back to familiar

unnoticed everyday.

Ready to continue on

until the next escape.

Change a birth

that decided

your nature

and show them

who shines

within the

moon’s presence.
