Where Did I Go?

Sun, 10/06/2019 - 14:16 -- GraceKA

Must I live like this every day? Must I stand on the

Broken ground? Must I see what everyone sees? Must I hear my motivation

Slip away? Must I...

Must I be me?

 

What is "Me"?

Do I know this person who is a figment of

A glitch on a screen

In the dead of night

As you sleep? Is "Me" a glitch on a screen in the dead of night?

Do i understand what peace is? Do I know what it

Means? Must I hear my motivation scream out before I faint? It is "Me"

Now. It is me.

 

I left myself in the dark and I see no escape from my own selflessness.

"It's to the point of insanity," they say.

This wonderful torture surrounds me as I think, as I

Speak, as I sing, as I delve into

Insanity.

I do live. I see it in the

Depths of my porcelain, crippled, constant and tender heart.

I do see it. It is there. I am somewhere. But

Not here.

This poem is about: 
Me

You must live in some way every day, 

but not necessarily on broken ground.

You do not need to see what what everyone sees,

motivation will not slip away. You get to...

you get to be you. 

 

What is "you"?

Who is this person who fills up

the bright giant screen

in the life of night

as the world speaks? Are "you" the light in the life of night? 

Do you understand what peace is? Do you give peace its

meaning? Do you get to hear your motivation yelp before you leap? 

This is "you"

Now. This is you.

 

You once left your self in the dark but you saw an escape from your selfishness

"It's to the point of joy," they say

This wonderful bliss surrounds you as you think, as you

speak, as you sign, as you delve into

joy.

You do live. You see it in the 

depths of your clear, mobile, constant and tender heat. 

You do see it. It is there. You are somewhere. You

are here.
