Everywhere
Everything
Is a reflection
Of where we are
Who we are
And who we are yet to become
Haunted by who we will never be
Imagined in misery
To replace the pain we often feel
That sends our every instinct into fear
With a joy that can’t be taken away
Or ruled by decay
It takes letting go
Roll with the happening
Toil in blasphemy
Or bask in the glory
Of today
Why are you mad or troubled
Why are you feeling double the pressure to just be you
Is it because you don’t control the wheel
Just a cog in it
Don’t belong here
But that’s not mentioned in any sonnet
Where would you be of your own choosing
What would you be to replace the losing and feuding
What desire would drive you
To step out
On your own time
And morph into something miraculous
