The Original Break

The Original Break

A Poem by Alister Flik

 So, 
Here we have the 
Basic 
Human 
Cavern. 
This crack 
That splinters out from the core. 
The root of all these 
Little 
Fractures. 
The Original 
Break. 
Though, 
The subject is not born with this. 
It is created, 
As development 
And growth occur; 
Aging 
As the individual does. 
Larger, 
A maturity of pain forms. 
See how it creates 
This dividing line 
Between two opposite personalities 
Of what they want 
And how they act. 
Each subject unique to the next 
In placement, 
In pattern, 
In pain. 
The cavern forms their identity 
And begins to shape 
the world. 
Yours and mine. 
Those two opposites 
Are experienced 
By us all. 
So exists humanity. 
And that is the 
Basic 
Human 
Cavern.

... And people who isolate themselves from the pain of this life; love, relationship, responsibility, never seem to gain the perspective or maturity you speak of here.

So well written in form and content. Scars make us who we are.

What to say? I could be boring; say what is obvious: I like writing. I could be bizarre; say something random: I like frogs. I could be mysterious; say nothing: What do you want from me? Ask. .. more..

Look. Look.
