A Feeble Forfeiture

Beyond the familiar,
Far past any walls of my gardens,
a sleet bonds with me in turn
of the contrast of calls 
from this path that hardens,
and of what it speaks,
and of how it brings change 
unto my words.

I found myself outside of my own
outline.

With no shape to take precedent,
Nor space left to fill,
This temporary independence
help elucidate
of what should be done,
rather than of what one should do.

Albeit, an idea of opinion,
A design of bias difficult to comprehend.
A feeling of indifference
floods in waves,
setting aside
all that could’ve been.

In an effort of comfort in lieu,
I seized the dawn that still were
foreign, forgotten and new,
a grasp upon imagination;
To think in accordance of my view
felt as if to cast away the sun
this icy road had barely knew.

A distraction,
stealing the memory
of wherever it was
these cold and drifting winds
had been carrying me through.

A reason,
feeding the strength
to my spirit,
my steps had believed
to have been sworn to.

I seized the night as it grew.
Footsteps left behind were filled
before any chance of a trail
time could have left drew;

For no one to follow,
or for upon coming back
to the person I had thought to be,
or for the rejection of who I am
to not return;
Creating anew type of normalcy.

Freed yet hollowed
of the shape
that sharpened
my skeleton;
a synopsis for my personhood to map.

Outside of contours
that had always been,
to me, of what I am ascribed,

I find the loss of destination
to provide a sanctuary,
And as long as I bear the weight
of holding onto my mind,
I will be safe.

I may not know where I am,
nor how to repay the debt
that once helped my shape.
I held onto love for a world,
and that’s enough to never forget.

Whether wild or tame,
I will be alright.

Smile and look at me,
Forfeiting again.
