The LOST night of Tree of Stars

A poem I wrote at a public journal/poetry writing night held at LOST by the Tree of Stars 6:30pish April 10th, 2018

I flew through the gaps
seeping into oblivion
I only knew it was never enough.
Try as I might
I couldn't find purchase in their land.
Spew my hurt into
   physical being
I took this hate and turned
   it into fuel.
I will expel until I dig
   deep and discover joy.
Desire leaves me wanting
but truth will set me adrift
in a sea of my own
          understanding.
Drowning is no longer an option
as I plant two feet upon this
   soil and call it my own.
