The feeling of
5 x 5
takes me to the future
the future I have made
but
my future quickly becomes my past
mistake infused
glee infested
lost pieces of memories
that find themselves
places to hide
moving forward, supposed to leave them behind
but I want to remember
yesterday’s faults
and I want to forgive
myself.
the feeling of
5 x 5
takes over
and I just can’t move on.
I am today.
I am tomorrow.
I am yesterday.
I am this morning.
I am this afternoon.
I am tonight.
I am right now.
But I am not you.
I am not me.
Please just let me be.
it is easy to find
and it’s easy to tell
that tomorrow brings what today left behind
can’t you see it too?
if you can’t…
listen.
Listen to the jingle jangle of the pirates many keys
and the ruckus of the souls who have been unlocked by those keys.
A RECKLESS pirate let them out but never put them back!
Going from door to door out of crazed curiousity
he used and plundered for his own enjoyment.
He wonders why the world hates him so…
Oh what a poor pirate,
wandering the fair seas
with never a home to call his own
With such joy the spirits do lift him up
above those who he has wronged
so he can see
but even the purest of spirits won’t change the pirate because he is
only loyal to himself
Such a sad sight,
the homeless, loveless pirate
If only he could make out the sight of something
true to form
He does not know to keep those souls behind the locked doors.
He sees the shores as his enemies and feels it is his plight
to make sure his work is done
guided by his MIGHT.
The holiest might that screams, RIGHTEOUS, at the same time
AYE MATEY
Furthering on a timeless ship that hopes to someday
win this fight
only all the seas have made him sick
and alas he cannot see very well
NO ONE IS FIGHTING
left or wrong
right or right
Yes.
I have centered myself on something
I don’t know what it is
I don’t know how
But
I am.
Here
I am alive.
There isn’t much more to ask for.
What else is left
That’s right?
