A Word on Being Grown
I sit and wait
for the moment
the wake
that I can jump into a new existance
a new life
I ask will I be
meaningful
dreaming full?
or believing I will
though I stand still?
My life is slow
will that next chapter be fuller?
Or do I just assume that
it will be because it's new.
I ask another for a peek
onto the next page.
"It's not that great."
Then why do I remain standing
clenching trepidation
my infuriation
at this person
makes me want
to cry
But i
would rather lie
and die
in that lie
than cry
and show my weakness.
I want what you have.
That's a main ideal
in man
throughout the ages of time
of our existance.
So hear me straight
If you dont want
what you
have
than don't tell me i dont want it
are you warning me?
or spilling your disloyalty
to your possession.
Because if I
wanted to
crack open the lid
and get rid
of my possession
something that's actually
and obsession
to someone else
then wouldn't i want
to tell them what's good?
"But if i tell them what's good"
they say,
"then will I not
want
what I
already have?"
of course.
Because you are of man.
I strive to live
and i cry for those
who do not see
what they
have
in front of them.
