Let's Start Over

I wrote this poem some time ago, it's actually a little spoken poetry. It has a flow, but not the normal flow you will find in a stanza, so hopefully the substance of it is understandable nevertheless. I may upload audio of it at some point. Enjoy! 

 

 

Held together by stitched thread

I fear im slowly unraveling

Caught between the extreme’s in my head

I’m constantly on this road traveling

To a dead end

 

Dead ends and Road blocks

The more I try I cant stop

Feeling this feeling of uneasiness

Please tell me this

When will it end

 

Ending up needing strength

More and more everyday

Weak I feel but strong I see

How can I make the two match within me

Fill me

 

Fill me up, any and all voids present

I’ve surrendered it all

So why am I still hesitant

Hes-i-tating, not re-lat-ing, misunderstood

Take me away

 

Away from it all

I cant take another fall

Got me dreaming like Saul

Waiting to make sense of it All

Just take it

 

Take the fear

Take the doubt

Make me hear

I cant go without

Light

 

Light up the dark places

So I can see

The deceitful faces

Sent to destroy me

Clar-i-ty

 

Clar-i-fy

This path so I

Keep hope alive

Don’t let it die

Prematurely

 

Too Soon, Too Late

Made some mistakes

This time I’ll wait

My soul’s at stake

Revive me

 

Revive the joy

I once employed

Pre-emotions annoyed

Settle Me

 

Prioritize

My life so wise

So I realize

What is a lie

Truth

 

Truly wanting what is mine

What is real

Don’t want to deal

No more counterfeits

Don’t want no regrets

 

But what is true

One thing to do

All I need

Is found in you

So let’s start over, me and you.

"Weak I feel but strong I see / How can I make the two match within me" ... I feel you! Excellent piece. The opening line effectively reeled me (nice visual) "Held together by stitched thread / I fear im slowly unraveling." You gotta post the spoken word edition to this! Keep it going.

Very thought provoking, and it non-verbally illustrates a feeling that many can relate to. We all endure things in our journey of life, but it is good to know that we always have a place of refuge alone. Good piece!!!!!
