Spin Wheel

It was once upon a time …..I felt worthless 
I watched the sunrise before my first shift 
and as my conscious shifts
I read the book before I wrote it…decided ….it was worthless too
I even went to buy grocery but nothing fulfilled my worthless point of view 
So I ate a worthless meal at a worthless time 
Tried to write a poem …..created worthless rhymes …..flipped pages like dimes ….contemplating on why I wasted so much of my prime 
Remembering when I was young with hella pride and a smaller mind 
But now I’m making shrines 
To see watch a bolder shine 
Rocks turned to gold
I’m thinking it’s only god 
Way past facades , I needed clarity 
See this ain’t a sad story to be honest 
I’m in mad glory to be honest 
Ready to be honest to be honest 
It was honestly me 
There are roots before the tree 
Thinking If I am roots …what was the seed 
Scene 
I’m back to reality 
Nothing matters anymore in a worthless dream

The fourth line is absolutely perfect. It encompasses so much that I feel like it could be a poem in of itself.
