Jar of Me

I sit inside this jar
Watching through the glass
As life proceeds without me

I sit inside this jar
Waiting for nothing
My ambitions aimless

I sit inside this jar
Wasting...
Decaying...
Deteriorating...

Soon
I will be nothing
But dust
At the bottom
Of this jar

Great poem, Andy. Somewhat sade as well, we sometimes hide ourselves from our own potential, and have to learn to get out of our own way, and break thru our shell, and find ourselves. Deep expression, enjoyable overall. Check out some of mine. Peace.
