Castaway by PenAStory: 7:55am On Apr 14, 2016 |
https://penastory.com/2016/04/13/castaway-caleb-nmebribe/ It hurts…It hurts When you are pushed away Carted to the dark Left to decay Shaken of all reserve And lost to the floor Never to land that perch Your visions saw Is it a crime now to dream? Or to think high And let my small mind wander too far? When did you learn to shush my expressions? Hurting my drive And this soul to depression It gives great pain And aching for years When this little being Is spiked and burnt. Banished, tarnished A castaway Because of my weaknesses My evil flaws Even nature’s eye pity not When it’s my being’s naughty matter In the pot She pounds and stirs Drags and scrapes This tick, this flaw. Its not my fault I don’t own their suave Their adequacies and their lucky charm Frowning deep at my vanishing being With no nice studs to fill my barn My mind whispers and warns Telling this soul to disregard their pun But what can one do in this fall Should I not heed the larger world’s call? I must learn to watch the floor Closing my mind And shutting my eyes Learning as the world has taught me fine Those little fantasies aren’t worth the shine I sit now and smile at my hands Restricting my suit to my size accepting my weaknesses and even more, There are heights never to be touched Perches never to be climbed Please, do remind me of shank’s old mare When next my dreams grow fine wings… # just_thoughts # escape Get updates on our post by joining our BBM Channel via C00396EEB, if you are reading from mobile click: http://pin.bbm.com/C00396EEB Source: PenAStory www.penastory.com
