|Substance| - "Fork" [5/11]

This was the apex of my tumult and it was my lowest moment.

Yet this is what helped me get out of the hole I was in.

“Fork”

Trapped

Isolated in purgatory as I get caught up in my owns tory

Dilatory in action because complacency has set in

Where to begin, deconstructing definitions, horrifying renditions of

The future

 

The uncertain, unmarked terrain

As my brain flares, doubting every decision

As I long for an incision to make it all end

I realize the pain will never go away

 

“Choose how you suffer” they say as I vacillate between paths

Striving for guidance and writhing for purpose

But I’m assuming all of you heard this

The certainty but uncertainty wrapped in one bundle

As oversized children stumble into the abyss

 

The abyss where inhabitants are remiss and dismiss their true call

Yet it isn’t their fault they cannot revolt

Revolt leads to loss

Loss of capital, of faith, of hope

 

All one can do is conform

And therefore perform day in, day out

But isn’t that what everyone does?

So why complain when the problem is rampant

 

Can’t you see we’re on a sinking ship?

A falling plane, as day to day passion beckons our name

 

This is the type of poem that doesn’t have an answer

A conclusion to put your minds at rest

All that can be said is to do what you think is best

And hope that it guides you to being laid to rest
