The Wanderer

The Wanderer
By: Aidan Gilbert

People say time ticks faster than it’s allowed
I say we walk too slow
People say stop to enjoy every moment
I say some moments aren’t worth stopping for
Everyone says the storm already passed
That just means I’m following it
Everyday black and grey
It’s all the same
I don’t know which road I lost my soul
Probably lost it before I started this journey
People say death brings sorrow
I say it brings happiness because that’s when you finally get your freedom
I ain’t know mistake in life
Just the sad thing it coughed up
This world is my jail time
It locked me up for wanting innocence
I am not allowed to pray for a better time
Because these bad times are the only times I am allowed
There ain’t no sunshine in Hell!
Just me wandering
Wandering aimlessly around

Josefina Costales July 7, 2015 at 8:18 AM Actually, I'm going to store your poem in my "favorite poems" page here at PS if you don't mind. It's the kind that 1 reading is not enough, and one goes back to read it all over again Aidan Gilbert July 7, 2015 at 10:37 AM thanks, that is so kind

Josefina Costales June 26, 2015 at 12:15 PM I like some lines which speak to me personally - the 1st 6 lines actually. The rest of it seem so despairing, you seem to give no sense of life ever giving hope of getting any better - no sunshine, innocence lost - the reasons for being a wanderer. Though for me, wandering is a kind of adventure. Thanks for the post. Aidan Gilbert July 6, 2015 at 11:38 PM thankyou
