a poem i wrote on a whim turned out to be good
Soul searching in a cup of coffee
talking to the deaf and blind
dive into my heart
you'll never reach the bottom
swim into my mind
but beware of the current
it's liable to confuse and weaken
I'll visit the unimaginables
while you draw a map
a map of unknown territories
deciding what lines
what lines i should cross
to step over and emerge
into steady streams of consiousness
a no mans land of opportunities
opportunities just out of reach
nothing really makes sense
when you're upside down in a bottle
seeing double and it's pitch black
you'll never feel quite taken aback
when life is seeming so ordinary
it's likely that it isn't
isn't so ordinary
When joy fills you so much
you feel you have wings
do not try to fly
unless you have a license
license to fathom
fathom new heights of utopia
so let your mind fly at break neck speeds
it's only healthy
only normal
to let those around you set standards
standards that are not your own
questioning what is real
makes for a painful life
accepting yourself is key
the key to unlock yourself
Do you believe what you see?
can you hear the tide of your memories
washing up on the shore of the past?
little introspective points of view
the things we don't behold to be actual
answer my questions
they are questionable in reason
they are words all in my mouth
yet they refuse to exit
to leave and come out
and you really don't know what i mean
interpretations aren't enough for this
I have so many shoes
and you haven't walked in any of them
yes, and let your mind wander
the next time you have a cup of coffee
