The Awakening

The Awakening

A Poem by Tkess

 

This life comes down to

The rain and the sunlight

The snow, the smog

The traffic and the nightlife

The days, the faces you meet

 

The predators are preying

On the naive

And the hyenas are laughing

At the dream

 

This place is broken

It bleeds hollow

Condemnation

It’s soaked into the concrete

As we wade through the bullshit

 

This life comes down to

Broken hearts and

Paychecks

One night stands

A good song and

A better book

Making mistakes

And the realization

That it is not all that bad

 

It just is
