Minds
I wonder what people think,
Or were they blessed with a quiet mind
That shuts down with a simple command?
I watch people as they are alone or,
Interacting with one another and I wonder
How lonely they allow themselves to be,
And how lonely they feel when no one
Else is around, but the darkness to tuck
Them in goodnight with the promise of a
Better tomorrow. I wonder how many
People are so easily fooled with promises.
Maybe they aren't as screwed up as me
With images of a broken family playing
Re-runs behind the black curtain I hung,
Only to realize my eyes still dream of the
Sun, but my heart is in love with the moon
Because I understand the moon's constant
Loneliness. But I feel like the depths of the
Ocean that entitles me to drowning.
I never learned how to swim.
