Confined Universe

Hidden Treasure

By Jerry SalcedoPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

The treasures of insight that rest in this being

Purpose devised to open up the world of no

Feelings

Wandering in notions

Pausing controllable moments

The second calling yelling loudly

Faces recognizable in motion

Devious plans inflate the ego of ign’ant man—

Coerced in;

Finding definitions to make a reason for their purpose

When that’s all, there is,

Finding the reason why you live

Pushing the limits of your sentence

Sent here from heaven

You choose which way you head in

Confined universe held inside our ascending pitfalls

You fail, and the fire in you breakthrough as anger

Feeding on all the negative shit, you’ve been through

To finally push down that wall

That wall that’s kept you in place

That wall that has been an obstacle since adolescent days

The barrier between you and the Universe you hide within

Confined became a Universe.
