I am
The man with no father
Searched for remnants
Of a pre-defined definition
Of What the world considers to be
Masculinity
He searched into
The past men who have built and maintained empires
Who burned their own bridges
To annihilate the idea of retreating into the past.
Into comfort
Into hope
In extreme hopelessness
Under the magma of rock-bottom
Under the stars which were devoid of divinity
Under the water which he drowned himself in
Just to rise from the grave
As the water forcefully escaped his lungs
He viewed everywhere but himself
But when he did
He realized
That the past
is now
The now
is now
The future
is now
Now is the eternity he was and is confined to
Now supplies the water that he once choked on
Now supplies the air that he will breathe
Now he is alive.
Now he is.
