| Contrasting thoughts run down a drain Memories of perfect youth drown me So simple to see the water of reflection But to witness change, provokes fear Shying away from dear we hide with monsters Gnashing ghouls that tear through our thoughts Tiny worries watered and nourished Increasing maturity with the mind of a child Neglecting thought and life Walking withered Lifeblood is a finite commodity Wasting long hours, to waste life Throwing it all away from a solemn sigh Unable to speak from the hook in my throat The line catches and I fall further Pulled from the water, released for another day Non-sense moanings and thoughts of foreign decent Interpreted in pools of youth Understood in final moments Internalized with the coming of new change. |
