2016

Tomorrow I will change

Today I will scheme

And dream of whom I shalt be

Of the title 'human' worthy I must deem.

'Independence.' I sing

Or perhaps a lover of the spring

For the being I am

Is one too attached to winter

And its rain

Too arrogant from the cold my being cannot abstain

For the man I am cannot deign into loving the sun.

'Power.' I decide

Within my change will be power

Over mankind I shall tower

And from my creations I shan't cower

Candid shall be my book.

My story will be open to the world

And so no one will look to read it

And so with nothing to cover I will be invincible

Today became tomorrow and then yesterday

And every second of every day

Change slithered in... to my dismay.

I awoke with a fright

My palms veiled my eyes from the light

For the light- the light is far too bright

What is this?

Is this what others call bliss?

On my wall sits a clock

And with every tick and tock

It's like- like I've a mental block

My lips part

And words stammer out

Was I not meant to be smart?

Change! O change!

Where've you run?

You were meant to weave my soul whole

Not pull it undone!

Is this the fruit of my sitting around

And dismissing passion

Alongside opportunity

Depicting change's plan

As they came my way

On a caravan.

No, this cannot be. It cannot do.

Who? Who am I now?

EH. I threw this together and just thought: eh.

Thoughts?
