THIS LIFE

...

By T. LichtPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

This life

It's growing on me

Like vines up an abandoned home

Clinging and clawing at the walls for support

Does it ever have meaning?

Does it ever reach a height

That it can finally see reasons?

Does its fingers ever pry

Into closed windows

to find answers, answers I so crave

but can't find, down below

At the root of it all.

This life

It grows on me

Like the years I'm collecting on my body

Scarring into a brand new one each year...

Shedding old leaves to turn new pages

As I climb up this life, like vines up an abandoned home

Clinging and clawing at the walls for support

    We search for meaning, and much of the time, empathy. Love the analogies here.
