Forboding(9.14.16)

Thoughts on what is to come

overwhelm  me with fears;

I even forget who I once was

blind to that bitterness, my dull delusions.

 

There is a cloud called calm

in which I build my strength.

Reclining in the softness of hope,

I hold at heart no doubt

but when my mind grows dim,

I curl in my damp dugout of doubt

–dull delusions stifling my dreams.

 

I often forget to exist,

thinking about one day being.

I lose focus on the real meaning

and lose myself in the meaning.

I want to pull back the curtain,

the illusion that is defined by breathing:

To get through the pain,

the all consuming pulse of hate,

I remind myself that I am only dreaming

and fleeting.

 

-Eva M.M.

Throwback to the beginning of my senior year, this is a poem I wrote way back in September.

” Me and the pen, we are one. If its ink would cease to flow, my ink would cease to flow.”
