Foresight
FORESIGHT
Dragging myself deeper
in the pit of despair
Trudging through things
in need of repair
Wincing at the memories
stinging my eyes
Staring through the window
gazing at the skys
Stuck here in the mire
stuck inside myself
Feeling like I’m trapped
in a box on the shelf
Self imposed distance
from companionship
Sitting wide awake
biting on my lip
Ancestors tried to warn
of what was to come
But in my infinite wisdom
I chose blind, deaf and dumb
Tears upon my pillow
things that could have been
If what I know now
I had chosen to learn then
