Someone

Someone

A Poem by Isolophobe

Someone loosened the ties that bind me to people

I now can't find

Someone equated us as humans but we're not equal

Someone lied

Someone taught me to tie too tight of a knot

For the noose I tied

An accident that has come to define

The way I spend my time

Thinking of Someone

I swing between moods like a pendulum

Someone gave me the key to her heart

But I could'nt open the trick door

Or maybe it was just the wrong house

Someone skidded down a row of tumbling

Columns

That fell over on to smaller columns

Someone loved the only person that hated them

Someone cried in church and never went back

Someone broke a knee as they kneeled to pray

Someone choked trying to swallow their pride

Then tried to self-medicate their stuffed throat

With a poison that only couldn't cure the infected

State of mind they thought they were exiled from

Someone strained their wrist trying to turn a page

From the last chapter of their life

Someone broke their neck looking to the sky for

...something

Someone thought up this poem

Someone thinks its bullshit

Someone still thinks they owe it to themselves

To scratch their own back

Someone fears the wind because

They feel light as a feather

Someone saw the dark side of the moon and decided to play

A Great Gig in the sky

Someone kicked the bucket

And wondered if it made a sound

Due to the fact that

No one was around

Someone is living as a stillborn

Someone questioned God

And answered their own inquiry with

A Big Bang Theory of tiny cerebral planets

Spanning the blood red wall behind them

So many tiny dots...it looked like a galaxy

Of tragic events and coincidents

Someone's always too much company

Someone can't get away by way of escapism

Because they can't outrun their train of though

Someone told me the truth when

Someone told me they lied

Now i'm confused with no way to judge

The validity in anything someone says

When they cry

I see the smiles being hidden

And I wonder why we're not honest

Untile someone is denied

of Some Thing

Someone is burning their chills away

For some gravedigger to bury the frozen ashes later

Someone is dying to live searching

For someone living to die

To give themselves a reason to stay alive

Someone's full course meal is a pile of crumbs

Someone is thinking inside the box because outside

The sounds of traffic disturb their sleep

Someone is carrying the weight of the world to

Crush the monkey on their back

Someone is swimming until they drown

And won't regret it

Someone is too adolescent to consider adulthood

For the sake of perpetuating their childhood

Someone who saw the light discovered a switch

Then turned off the gleaming aphorism

Someone admired when they should have adored me

Someone pushed me over the edge and suggested

I attempt to fly

Someone waved hello when they said good bye

Someone limited their behavior when I

Thought they'd diversify

Someone is rocking theirself to sleep in a fetal position

I'm the pushover that someone with good will

Pulled with bad timing

Someone recieving glory is really someone to blame

Someone who wants to be seen is the only person

That seems to hide

Someone opened their heart and closed their mind

To filter the emotions they derived

From a distant cry

Someone intentionally forgot to remember their intentions

Or someone convinced me to have that superstition

Someone spoke violent words and murdered the silence

Someone is a verbal masochist that loves a pacifist

Someone sleeps to never awaken

Someone gave life on their deathbed

Someone came home to no house

Someone you'll never meet is the best friend you'll always need

Someone walked behind someone running

Someone fathomed the implausible

And made a thought tangible

Then named it Art

Someone wrote what they should have spoke

Someone decided it was necessary to create destruction
Construct obliteration...call it war...then fight it in the

Name of peace

Someone wrapped when they should have unraveled

Someone became no one when I eventually realized

The distance I traveled

Was too far to ever overcome my short comings

Someone loved life because they knew they'd die

That someone was Something
