My Poetry

"October Waters"

My only option isn't even a choice

But nobody realizes there's more than just A, B, C, and D

I know my mind is officially lost

By the time my hair dampens

This is only the beginning of the end

Let this haunt those who hurt me

I never understood attachment so why not ignore it?

I'm just a selfish machine out to get what I've wanted for 2 years

I tell myself to let go

And I do

My body's in panic but my mind is just dark

Trying not to savor anything,

I allow myself to feel the ocean inside me

With every second spent, I'm spent,

But that's alright

I hear something that sounds like hope and I have to block it out

Opening my eyes despite myself,

I see a ray of light that hasn't been there in 3 months

I give up and slowly begin to follow it
