The Stall of the Unseen
Yesterday was a day
As today is a don't
Stall the jarring
Stem the sudden stern jolt
My trajectory wavers
Flourishes
While withers
Undertake to understand steps
That fall away to the side
I spin and I spiral
I clip and I catch
I fame and I fortune
I ditch and I dash
Today isn't done
Though thinking is empty
The day that was this
Stalled slightly on something
The space in my psyche
Where others dictate
Leap me from spires to dires
Singsong to dirge
Self sufficiency
Stops when supposes
Step in
Lens loops lengthways
Lopsided
So opinion divided
As distance bestowed
Here I stand
There's the path
I can look forward
Or back
Choose a moment
Or be mind-read
Decipher is flawed
I'd be foolhardy to listen
I should place that opinion
Outside of the loop playing softly indoors
For who can rule over self belief solely
No other but me, a make believe model
Walk it off, wish it skywards
Woes that should wash away with the tide
