My pace has quickend
Events have narrowed
Repitition and routine have excelled
Days end with a tired soul
Time has become of less importance
My view once shallow has narrowed deep
I care not for tomorrow
Yet all the more
I live for next year
The tunnel vision has left me stressed
Ultimately the moment is all I can act on
This world has enslaved me to events
Leaving a cruel taste for all the moments...
I simply miss
What do I think of the cares of others?
What do others think of my own cares?
What a wicked pondering has left me so restless
Offenses I have made in the past
Oh how they leave me with a grave sadness
And my apologies cant seem to piece back together
The souls I have torn in two
I deserve their tears
And as a pebble falls into the ocean
So does my soul sink to the bottom
For every one that is shed
No comfort tonight
Despite all encouraging facts
I shall ignore their embrace
And mourn what has been lost
Forgive me
This is a highly evocative poem. It reminds me of many sleepless nights at college (more than three decades ago) when I thought that my life was basically such a mess that nothing could come of it. With great power, the poem forces me to look at that time again.
