I am of the opinion that some poems, like this one, are meant to go in a circle. Enjoy. |
-You- by Keaton Foster You Not me Yes you See Pay attention Please Do it now Not later Then It’ll be too late Beyond gone Never A second chance It’s only here It’s only now In this moment No other Confused yet You should be At least It seems so You The sheep Pointless And moot Just a copy Of every other No difference Not a one Same is Same as Like before Another whore Living life Fighting it twice Once Regarding creation The other Opposing obliteration You won’t win Nope Never Not meant Not supposed to Your existence Just like mine And everyone else’s An absolute sham Fakeness empowered To the enth degree You Sounds cute Implies personality Complex duality But indeed That is not the case No how No way Just one of many A copy of a copy And then some We live And we die In less than A blink of an eye Why we are here Never will be clear Both sad and true These are the rules We will be forgotten Making us The unremembered Ensuring us Nothing significant Maybe we Really I mean you Will go to Heaven There you’ll meet God Then again The word maybe To me Is a nice way Of saying no No way No how But to you It means yes Certainly Without question If so Why not say yes Absolute Finite and infinite Why not be sure Beyond all question Devoid of reproach A stone in the sea A cloud in the sky A leaf upon a tree A flash in his eye As well as your own All of them are one You Are playing a game I’m playing as well The outcome Not the same Not even close Not even remote Pay some attention This nonsense That I’m spewing Just may save your life Or at least What you consider life Maybe it And by “It” I mean the sum of it all Will fill that hole That one in your head The one in your heart However small You assume Rest assured It’s still there Mine is a crater By comparison Via skepticism I question it all I guess So that you Don’t have to You could thank me But you won’t Increasingly confident Am I That there is little To no excuse For either one of us I know it’s sad But it’s true… You Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2015. |
