Look over your shoulder
to find a soul piercing glance
Avoid it to not be terrorised
Face it to go through a change
𝘈𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦
catches you off guard
a heavy feeling that expands
fear galore
Paralysis analysis of
what could have been
Confusion bleeds through your words
𝘍𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨
the gaze makes you aware
of all the benign things that add
into a snowball of old age regret
So you confess and so you repent
And then it begins
the aimless walks
the search for an aim
with options galore
Dreams return as symbols
for you to understand
them to be a premonition
of this journey of finding
your calling that you lacked
