About Me

-About Me-
by
Keaton Foster



Skin
Flesh
Hatred
Obsessed
What if
Just how I live
What I see
A car accident of belief
Are there any survivors
The verdict out
The casualty list unseen
Cutting through the wreckage
Sorting out dismemberments
At this rate its gonna take forever
Such a case of forever
Should be printed on a t-shirt
To be worn inside out
Boundless and inept
God has many regrets
Perfection it seems
Is woefully flawed
One hand
Never really knows
What any other is doing
In the deepest darkness
So many of us reside
Devoid of any light
We cannot see with clarity
Refusal is our holy right
Our way against the grain
Acceptance means less
Lemmings are such fools
Ready to jump at a moment’s notice
We are nobody’s fools
Words with us are paramount
Building blocks
Piled just right
Allowing us
To get to a height
That we alone
Are comfortable with
I know nothing of myself
But you
Out there
Stranger declared
Know everything
About me
You understand
While so many others don’t
You comprehend more
Than ever thought possible
Each line has become an epitaph
Poetries carved deep into stone
Long after I’m peacefully dead
Long after everything is said
My trumpeting voice will ring out
What was once so absurd
Will be as clear as any sun
In any endless sky…
