Shawn Gorsick Poet Free verse

"Resonance returning reasoning and learning"

So here I am I have stumbled back to where I have always been 
at my best clear head but its not to last judging by my life patterns this is more than likely my last pass
so let me make sure to speak the truth in a way I have not in many, many days and nights
it was not intentional of my path I lost sight it happens in the gardens cove. see you ger that 
if my poetry book of my first pass had not been taking from me.
and that leaves everyone lost on me like a ghost that is noticed but his life unseen

take from that what you will I don't have time to waste words on cognitive dissonance 
I can't be slowed by the weight of entropy because there is a message to receive here
my choice to share it was a destiny (clear) from a young age reoccurring dreams (fear)
3 to be exact 1 told me I would have a present yet absent dad (fact) the second showed me my 
family my center would never support the real weight of me and addictions would plaque me
the last has yet to happen but the other 2 have a continuous loop. creating a broken soul that sheds daily and most often is not at full capacity.

Most often. but sometimes I gather all the pieces and wipe eyes take a look at the world and wonder 
how we survive with all the judgement the hate the belief based misguided facts that we allow
to populate are mind (drill) it out a sickness beyond any that can be defined so I won't try you can't be taught or shown you must know it and there is only one way to get you there (believe)

Can you see the trees dance in the wind praying prayers of redemption assent ion rejuvenation
understanding and love (friend) this is the start of a new day this is the sound of a wind change
take it upon yourself to prove everything being preached as part of the current way (wrong)
and always known as per the agreement you are never alone so be brave and bold (strong) never 
let anyone convince you that you have no place here (belong) 

realize this is not the poem but the key to pull from you what thought you need to see (inspiration)
so that the meaning you get from this is not one of procrastination and rather proactive haste (motivation) to find the connection between your hearts wisdom and the hearts of all who dwell in it (life) because only then will meaning be definitive I can't tell you the secret (song) because its different for everyone but carries the same contents in it (block chain)  

thanks so much for reading please leave a comment (encouragement) 
we are each a world on a planet

Alison A Smith nee Howarth September 10, 2026 at 8:14 PM This feels like a raw, searching free-verse manifesto, with its fractured movement echoing the speaker’s struggle to regain clarity and wholeness. I was especially struck by the recurring parenthetical words—“clear,” “fear,” “belong,” “inspiration”—which land like emotional signposts amid the rush of thought. The closing idea that each of us is “a world on a planet” gives the piece a compassionate, expansive resonance. Shawn Gorsick September 11, 2026 at 8:13 AM hello thank you so much for taking the time to read my poem. may I say your comprehension skills are truly spot on. The last line if I had more characters would be closer to " 6 billion worlds on one planet that's just human frequency" thanks again kindly
