Mid-life DreamsA Poem by AloneInTheTaiga
Every person goes through a mid-life crisis
That's what I'm told Rest assured I've arrived at mine I'm thirty years old Three decades on Earth and I don't know my place But I know it's not here It's not in this f*****g place Every day it seems to rain Every single f*****g day I see it as I look out through the window pane Drops of rain water hitting glass as I sit at my desk Praying to the desktop computer God at my bosses behest Am I living life? Am I f**k! I'm a ghost! I have a desire to burn all that I own Run far away, to far off lands Head for the mountains and away from the brands I have so few memories and they're mostly TV shows So many clothes, possessions and loans I am going to quit my job I am going to flee I am going to run towards the trees Am I f**k! I'm a ghost! Ghosts don't dream They float They don't flee They are stuck in one place for eternity © 2016 AloneInTheTaiga |
