On a daily basis, I tie my shoe laces
Then I go to the fishing spot
The lintel shines through when the sky grows dark
But the sun's lobes were never seen
I fall over my clouded acumen, uttering jargon
I'm a sponge absorbing information
I'm red with regret, spinning out of control
Down a rabbit hole
Ipso facto
I'm fucked, a lame duck, cock stiff
Wood pulp
I don't believe your bullshit
Ancient history written on papyrus
I have a mind of my own
Yes, it's true
Auf Wiedersehen Sie
Auf Wiedersehen, Auf Wiedersehen now
I'm lumbering on barren ground
Beetle-browed, still figuring shit out
Aimlessly dashing down my current thoughts
I'm ill-starred, wayward
Dwelling on so on and so on
At night I gaze at the stars
I succumb to temptation
The ice is thawing
What's happening to me?
I never seem to learn my lesson
I make impulsive decisions
I live for the moments of radio static
Sure, I have no more room for Gaelic
Doing cartwheels
I don't know what's real and fake
Going down memory lane
I'm asphyxiating from the sheer pain
As rays of sunshine glitter
I gloss over the gospel truth
I've been interrupted by a hullabaloo
The elephant in the room, a gallus taboo
One too many times I've spent months in a surreal dream
Devising art, in Sheol, the winds whistle
I listen to the drizzle
I stop in my tracks at the death knell
Whilst I swell with an army of khaki emotions
I've frozen, again, thinking il y a plus à la vie
Once I was over the moon with joie de vivre
Now I'm lost without an itinerary.

A wild ride through what seems to be a young man or woman on the trail of youth, and self discovery. A powerful write, and a good read. Nice.
Appreciate ur comment. This poem is actually autobiographical and I'm a boy by the way.
Oh, yeah I was just saying that it could be either or, wasn't guessing your gender, lol. That would be rude of me.
