Poem Title:
Poem
Shall I burden you with another tale? The answer you give, I do not care. I do not give a mind to such foolery and trickery like that, that comes from you, so therefore I do not care for your opinion and will cast aside like anyone does with what they don't want to hear..for, I know your answer all too well. Like the sun, the flames cast in the mantle illuminate your face, immobile in a mask of defeat. You don't want to hear but you have to listen, so I remember to say it slower. I will not repeat myself so take notes, keep the mental ones sharp and vibrant and detailed and bold, keep the ones on paper safe in your jacket pocket where I know you won't lose it. "I will not repeat myself", I repeat. You, and this is not a secret, were never my cup of tea, but with triffling times we come out of our warm shelter, our comfort zone and adapt to survive. I will hold tight to you because I will not die. Never should a fate like this conquer me. It snows outside, the flakes cling to the window, gripping the ground and bleaching it out. Get used to the weather, you're stuck here. Silence is stirred and a raspy voice hits hard the wind, I shudder for a brief moment and come back. Must we always stir ourselves as such? It seems so. Time flies and I come to an end in one sense, I'm born into another light. Baptize me in familiarity. You will come to loathe me, I anticipate this job. Come along, you catch a glimpse of that old "pie in the sky" compass. "Let it be what it is, and know that cardinal directions will get you nowhere."
