PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

in the speed of a heartbeat
I lose my essential self blending into society
built on male superiority and outdated female
domination
and like Alice, I've fallen too far down
but this time into a state of self absorbed
preoccupation
right or wrong, the subject of frustration
for me is quite befitting
satisfaction from producing an end product
is all the pleasure I am currently getting
on my own head, I am not betting
ahead of myself I won't be getting
Goodbye to a confused me, myself and I
Hello to that wildly wonderful, sweet poetic
high
there is still so much to discover
about this choice and chance I've made
like after I level out logically will
my skill in turn find a positive plateau
and where from there on out should I go
in this last concern I am a tad bit slow
whether up and down or from side to side
I know I would be better off to just hold tight
and enjoy this illuminating ride
in my tip-toe like technique, I take great yet
humbled pride
in my somewhat restrictive spirit, I on rare
occasion reside
cross with me upon this tainted page if you do
so dare
upon the head of infinity, one shouldn't choose
to split microscopic hairs
note, it is only the realistic lover who really
loves and truly cares
the attention span is durable yet at times
how very thin it often wears
for this kind of writing I have an exaggerated
flair
but more baffling comments made directly to
you this time, I will spare
read this through again if you dare
if you thought reading this was tough
well, writing it for me was an absolute bear
