The things we find ourselves doing when walking in disobedience
Laughing out our misery
After hours, toasting about fleeting happiness
Making jack asses out of ourselves
On treasure island
The canvas of a soft moonlight
That quickly turns to amber murkiness
As dawn creeps upon us
Casting fishing lines into the sea of forgetfulness
Hoping to reel in a real sense of how it is to be a real girl or real boy
But the bait doesn’t seem to catch any hope at all
Only tugs that result in seaweed & debris
Good morning
This poem leaves me feeling bittersweet.
These lines were especially powerful:
“Casting fishing lines into the sea of forgetfulness
Hoping to reel in a real sense of how it is to be a real girl or real boy
But the bait doesn’t seem to catch any hope at all”
