-POEM-

Sometime maybe later

I'll try and look up

At the sky I've been avoiding for so long

I've been afraid of its power

Of its pull

Of the surge it has over me

But lately

I've been most afraid

Of my actions

Of my thoughts

They seem dangerous to everyone

So rogue

So fast

They think I'm a dangerous killer

Waiting for my followers

At every sharp corner, they jump

Expectant to see me

But when they don't

They become more weary of my next move

Whist I sit here

Marveling still

At how colorful the sky is

Everyone has plotted against me

And my hide

They wish to rid this earth of my spirit

But my spirit is bound to this earth

And I only live for myself

Because everyone else's words are ongoing

And they won't stop

Until they have broken me

But they cannot break me

Because I have the one thing I've been living for all my life

I have you

And your love

Is gentle

Is tender

And I feel at home

Wrapped up in your hug

I close my eyes

But the reality

Is that you are not here with me

And I am alone

Marveling at how colorful the night sky was

Because you are not here with me

And so the night sky is no longer colorful to me

Nothing is anymore

I am going to where everyone will meet

And skin me of everything I grew up to be

I am going because you are not here with me

And you are not here to stop me from doing so
