Evolution

Alone again I sit

In the chatter of my mind

In a room filled with noise

No peace can I find

So much to say

No one to say it to

So much to live

So little I can do

The lonely journey continues

Without warmth or company

Just me and my imagination

Out to see what we can see

Plenty of obstacles

No friends come to call

No family to understand

Phantom writings on my wall

Yet I cannot turn away

It’s where I need to be

It’s secrets to discover

It’s mysteries to see

I feel a metamorphosis

Flowing through my veins

As Reality begins to tear

Through this thin membrane

I can relate to Alice

Or Thomas Anderson

This rabbit hole is deep

And I’ve barely just begun

But once you’ve been there

You can never go back

Your old life is gone

You’ve grown fins on your back

Swim the channels of time

Alone, yet  hopefully.

A New World arises

Eclipsing old realities.

What you once believed

Is now absurd to you

You no longer feel you belong

But can’t recall what you once knew.

It becomes harder to relate

To trivial concerns

To empty glories

To money to burn

I want less

So that I can have more

A little time to burn

A little room to soar.
