EVERYONE HAS A STORY
|
holly haufler
This endless search for independence takes me back to a time when age wasn't my worst enemy
So, with this declaration, I have discovered a newfound strength
Continuously evolving, this new me manifests itself in a monstrous status
So, it may be told upon my passing of the girl whose indecisiveness made her difficult to approach and to involve oneself with
Why am I so undeserving of love
I place this value upon myself, lacking numerals from any language
Development, form, intuition
What are these things
Steadfast, I search for the answers to the questions
Who am I
Where am I going
What direction should I take
Is this the path or route I should attempt to journey
This cosmic universe has allowed me to reside here but for a while, indulging in the luxuries of the world.
I am the epitome of marvelous, exquisiteness, uniqueness, and being idle
How I long for the taste of distant lands, foreign to my native tongue
Interrupting this normalcy, I presume
My ideas are overlapping, full of twists and turns, insights unbeknownst to me
How can I decipher my thought processes when they aren't mine to begin with
We are society's puppets, held in bondage
Unkempt and scratching to get out of this box Pandora has put us in
As the cuffs get tighter, I question my own intellect
Webster's won't aid me, nor will Roget
It is the luxury of choice
So, I pick my basket of berries, as I celebrate the birth of self
With each fruit, I memorize its shape, every curve, it's bodice a piece of art
Without clues, I climb mountains, flailing arms and waist strapped for the fall
Mankind hasn't delivered me from the valley I so carefully placed myself in
I inhale the polluted air, taking me to my next thought
Where is this going
Even I don't understand my never-ending babble that is such a chore to me

about the author
She is an aspiring writer collecting dust, and an avid reader, who forgot how to. She has been writing since she was 12, a poet with no explanation, barely understanding self. Poetry has led her to a path to healing, self-destruction, and madness. She is a poet, simply.
