Farewell
September 27, 2015
What a mind we share
Desperation
To spare
And am I
To care?
For this mind
That we share.
Oh timeless end
Or timeless
Friend
Loosen your burdens
And mend
For this time
This timeless end.
My broken bone
Has cost
Your throne
Ignite me love
Love me alone
Love me whole
To broken bone
O’ what a mess
What an
Ugly dress
How ugly
To Repress
You and I
We’re a mess
You’re a pretty tree
Little bird
You’re now free
To shoot yourself
Like me
Little bird
And pretty tree
I did not say farewell
Please
Do not tell
Little bird
The tree fell
And you screamed
FAREWELL

I love the idea of connecting with yourself internally, but it has a way of tearing you apart. The hardest obstacle in life to overcome is finding a way to tolerate and love yourself for who you are. You feel as if the world is ganging up on you but in reality you just don't know how to accept yourself for the life you have lead. This poem connects feelings to reality and I hope you are able to get something out of it. I wrote with high hopes and strong intentions.
