tomorrowA Poem by Elisabeth Talks
I often feel like I’m wired wrong, as if someone decided to put my
brain in backwards to look at everything in the wrong way and to maybe never be
content with the answers I receive. Sometimes I feel everything makes sense to everyone else but not to
me When everyone laughs at something and I slowly open my mouth and
flash my teeth automatically and through habit most of the time. A nervous, desperate, annoying, laugh. Everyone chit chats and shows off about themselves to get by as if nothing
is real in the world Everyone’s the world’s most gifted actor Puppets dancing a long Dangling down with their painted on smiles and their perfectly
stitched suits Cautious not to have a spec on them.
I get bitter, I get resentful, I get the feeling no one is unique
including me And no one ever says what they mean or means what they say All false All lies to get by
I see myself do it too, day by day ‘Hey, you alright?’ Passes my lips faster than my brain has worked
out why I’m saying it or who I’m even saying it to. Everyone muddles a long searching for something they will never
find in the hope it’s just around the corner Patience, patience is key.
Is it? What if it’s not what if we just accept the present? What if we didn’t have this false hope? Nothing would get done I suppose, I still wonder though. I wonder if anyone really cares about what’s coming up, what
they’re going to do tomorrow, what there going to do in 5 years, or even when
someone says something offensive or does something unexpected Or is it just about the attention they receive from the act, the
claim, the plan? The reaction from others and not from you.
So I guess I’ll paint on my smile tomorrow I’ll chuckle at the thoughts of yesterday Silly, silly little thoughts Because if I don’t then tomorrow would not last long. © 2013 Elisabeth Talks |
