I float weightlessly above my conscience
My raw desire, undirected, stings my eyes
Struggling to escape my tight hold
But I’m not going to let go until I find a worthwhile avenue
Until then, I’ll search for my one piece footise
As I travel back in time
Ravenous for some Gerber baby food
After watching scary movies that made my tummy hurt
My tears will no longer be used
To say good bye or
To avoid situations of confrontation
As I try my best to unselfishly get my way
I’m tired of leaving behind cities
And friends long grown old
But if I crawl along the floor
The only sights I’ll miss are those within arm’s reach.
My stunted yearnings will be limited
To that which I need to survive.
And it'll no longer be difficult to fall asleep
Cradled once again, in loving arms.
"Until then, I’ll search for my one piece footise": Good idea, those seem to be back in style. Not sure if you'll still fit in them, but I am open for pass me downs.
ReplyDelete"Ravenous for some Gerber baby food" : You liked that stuff?
"And friends long grown old": Friends may grow old, but friendships last forever :)
A more poetic response to come later..
For now, be open to growing up.
I just read this again. You are just too good with your words :)
