For those who dare to ascend

Digoclifford_spellbound



Start to wonder about loyalty

when they make it clear

you're no longer a priority

When your distress meets their

resignation or

dead eyes or

closed doors 

 

At some point, you have to be prepared 

to stand alone 

To accept the distance is too great to bridge 

Communion,  once a source of comfort, is no longer possible 

 

Sometimes it's you, not them

But not for the reasons they ascribe 

Sometimes you have mountains to climb 

And they are muddling in the Everglades 

Sometimes you have a rocket to board

And they are at the Earth's core

 

Sometimes it's them, not you

Sometimes,  it's as luck would have it, 

Sometimes it's all about perception 

And in a lunatic,  upside down

Topsy turvy way

 

You, unimpressive as you may seem,

are living a dream

They've only dreamed of

And they are locked in a hum drum hell,

Small town, suburban deja vu

from which small minds

rarely escape
