Poem

These days I often find myself
lying on my pristine rock, hard bed 
thinking about why the world would 
ever care about someone like me. 
I wonder how my thoughts ever drifted
this far. Maybe social media?
Or my own self-conceit, brimming with 
forbidden passions even van Gogh or Picasso
couldn't imagine. Yet, I only say that
because I can't imagen them either.
I'm a washed up never-has-been.
What I can't figure out is why I even
care. Daring to dream is supposed to be 
a good thing, or so my childhood memories 
tell me. Then why is it that these days 
dreams only come in the form of nightmares? 
They cloak themselves in fire-roasted 
s'mores, the smell of freshly baked homemade
bread, and thin mint girl scout cookies. 
But underneath that mouth-rotting exterior 
is a rotting interior - evidence of one of 
life's well known facts - the exterior tends 
to exude what the interior feels. My interior 
switches between the kind of fear that would 
make a grown man go numb, and the kind of
numbness that even Elsa couldn't create.
I sigh (something I also do a lot of these days) 
and close my eyes, and hope to dream of dreams 
better than the reality I call Hansel and Gretel
