Mysterious ways of realising
things of the past and its uprising
Dullness of the mind and the lure of
money to entice the passionless plight
Surrounded ourselves with the beauty of art
in hopes that it will rub off on our docility
but instead, the art finds itself trapped
in the logical frame, we’ve placed it in
The need for a structure
The need for a calling
I walked in darkness
these past few days
They passed me by
like I could bend time
but time passed me by
in hopes that I will understand
all that I can’t tell myself
in a straight sentence
The truth, always in a lie
The need of this poem
only so I can hear my scream
subdued by the fallacy of
all that I failed to conquer
In hopes that my hope
blooms into action
and my potential
realises its mental image
Till then I will try
It’s been a while
