Departure

shadowbones

Ive worked every job in this town

The cities are unemployed 

Every chance or opportunity 

Burned to ground 

The bridges I used to cross 

Just a sinking stone

Now im starting to think 

The world is not me

Places used to dream, and breathe

Now its just ripple effects 

See myself trying to get it

Separate from energy

Tearing back

Concentrate on non existence 

Spread across too thin

Another envelope day

Put in this box

I hope to receive blindly

It will all make sense 

Tomorrow

    In a sense I hear that putting off till tomorrow works but in another it is sleep that gives us direction. Nicely said
