...............?

By Michael avantPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

They say they aren't impressed with my movement in this

Movement,

I've constructed a home of imperfections and forgot to include a room

For improvement.

Look at the madness you have drove me to,

You only live once, but what if i happen to have a chance

At two?

Is "Acceptance" such an insane dream?

I found a way to connect my underground river to your

Mainstream.

Do I dare set these ebony eyes upon such an ivory

Tower?

Does responsibility have to change the way that I see

Power?

Dressed for such sport though I refuse to take place in the

Hunt,

"Backstabbers" please hand your weapons to the

Front.

Underneath it all there's no such thing as

"Overtime,"

Spiritually, I know both our mind and body will accept this

Over time.

Chasing a storm with umbrellas that only open up

Indoors,

How do I rid of all the demons that I own if I befriend

Yours?

Curiosity's manner will seduce the probability of what could be

Worse,

Perhaps I'd clean up my Act if i could

Rehearse.

Have you been served enough knowledge to properly tip

Your waiter?

Almost everyone else's bags are packed, but we decided to plan our trip

For later.

Adapting to such a label we were told not to oppose the

Name,

They say we shot ourselves in the foot, but that's actually where we chose

To aim.

Hello fellow creators. In short I'm nothing more than a very big fan of this art form we all love called Poetry. Playing with words and thoughts, bending and twisting ideas is all part of this therapeutic yet challenging past time.
