How you what to be vs Who you are

In The End

I knew you once

I knew you twice

Faces change,

Emotions and aspirations rain.

I knew you once,

What happened to you?

Down came the dread,

Reality set in and priorities shifted,

Giants kept talking

Down the great vine

So I listened.

Phases of self hatred

Now I’m here,

Now I’ve succumb,

Artificial feels,

Reel in strangers to fly,

Aching chest and worried heart,

Nightly lying numb.

See what remains,

Alone, alone, and then?

Go walk around fool!

I knew you twice,

Just enough to see my regrets,

Missed conversations, friends, love, and possibilities.

I can begin again.

I know more,

Faces change.

Braver than before,

Emotions riot.

A path set,

Aspirations come and go.
