Potential

A Poem

By Melody RiverPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I've got a lot of potential.

I can see it so clearly,

my

potential.

On trains it stains tracks through my mind

I want to scream I want to shout and tell you what I am about

but I fear

I don't have enough words.

To describe this

glory gory world oustside inside

I see

I see

I see.

Me.

There I am,

all alone

as usual

draining my brain at the bar.

I didn't go there to drink, I go to be around people,

but I don't look,

I don't see

eyes staring, directed at me.

And

all that there is,

is

potential.
