I am much of nothing
really
to this vast earth
I hold no special key to enter
its finest grounds
well, perhaps not now
and yet
one day
in my more secure moments
I feel well within my care lined heart
that indeed I shall
be of some befitting significance that is
in the far greater scale
to life's much more literal scheme
why perhaps even quite known
whether widely nor narrowly spread
I sense that my very own death alone
could acquire the necessary rights to my
most fervent dream
some minuscule glint of flawed recognition
for my ever constantly present intended
attempt here
in the moment
where it truly counts
harbors no real grudge
there's just this incredible need I possess
to somehow adequately vent all my emotions
a sort of spend sense you might say
whether bottled or scarred
I must find route to dispose of each
along side each their much too numerous and
inseparable lists of jagged delusion and
unrest
as such shards of their abused discourage
companion my stock pile of decided dilemmas
in a certain sense
its almost as if
I regale in my ability of such self knowledge
to digest pointed insight
a yet fully polished pearl of mishandled
truth
she likely favors one of her makers previously
mentioned objectives
the untutorable talent of self loving
rather than the easy way out through
one's self loathing................
