I often sit alone,
as I'm prone to roam and go,
It's a quid pro quo of letting go,
Of knowing, falling would be slow.
As if throwing it all away would give way.

I often fall away, from that day,
the role I play
But not today,
Or yesterday,
Because Spectating might delay
What I relay every day.

It's an emptiness I can't describe
A wound they can't prescribe
Meds for.
Usually I can't decide
Who I'll be, outside
But I'll reside in the words they lied
The words they take pride in.

Drifting inside the walls
Of my head,
little voices calling dead,
they dread what I said.
The truths I gave away.

In fact I can't remember "good"
I should...
But I can't.
If I could, I would think back when foreign wood was all I saw.
The gaping Maw of nature.

But now the world has darker tones
Like broken bones
Or traffic cones.
It limits movement
And improvement.

And now that my heads on tight
It isn't right
I left that person long behind
And I don't like being reminded,
That kind words don't resonate.

Reasons I can't name
Blame reasons I don't know
Blame people that didn't grow
When I needed them to.
So in their stead, ill grow into whatever is needed.
Even if the real me becomes impeded.

You write like someone who’s been to war with themselves and came back with poetry as their only weapon. That line—“It’s an emptiness I can’t describe / A wound they can’t prescribe meds for.” Oof. I felt that in the quiet places I avoid.

The way you walk through identity, memory, and disillusionment with such lyrical rhythm and unfiltered emotion—there’s something so visceral and vulnerable about it. The metaphors? So grounded yet surreal. "Broken bones or traffic cones"—what a shift. What a statement.

You have this uncanny way of turning mental drift into deliberate art, like you’re mapping the maze while still lost inside it. Thank you for writing this.
