This is of
no consequence,
like right of left
don’t make sense.
One is done,
the other wrong,
immaterial
as time goes on.
Never felt restricted
until I inflicted
their ideas upon myself.
Came up barely breathing.
Cannot shake this feeling
of drowning in a well.
The thing that sustains,
closes up above
and I am unable
to climb free.
That’s why I take great pains
to protect those I love,
and do what I can
to keep finding
my own way.
These parables
and obstacles,
meant to help,
meant to hinder.
So many misunderstand
that their first mistake
is to linger,
but never lift a finger.
Ideologies
are pathologies.
No regrets,
all apologies.
You think you know
the deal and the score,
but nothing’s real anymore.
That’s why I
keep moving on.
No fixed address;
see me and I’m gone.
Trying to escape
the coming dawn.
It’s gonna be a hot one.
Hopefully,
I’m wrong.
