S E P A R A T E D

Long ago, my mind and my bod came to split; and that is still where they are today... -separated.

How can I explain?...

a brain, that is constantly seeking stimulation

paired with a heart completely void of all interest‐

These two could not be further apart,

and I cannot be more literal‐

Resulting in nothing but hate and pain,

this rain over my head may as well be for an execution,

how purposeless‐

My mind, and my heart

create calamities that can only be kept internal‐

Even within myself I'm unequally yoked...

forever to be attached,

while being as far separated as east is to west‐

Perhaps there is just no...

waking up from this nightmare‐

Helplessly separated from any lasting hope...

doomed to be eternally detached,

even while standing face to face with all of me that's left‐

Maybe I just don't possess the privilege of having a say so...

that this specific suffering is just meant to be, even while it is quite rare‐

About the Creator

Josh Morgan

Personally, writing began as a creative outlet, to be a means of processing and venting emotion, but it has become so much more. Something I want not to be just relatable, enjoyable and a good read, but to reach someone who is in need.
