I was just trying to write how I felt in my journal, in normal paragraph form. Then this slipped out. (this is from a few weeks ago)
_________________________________________________
And why does my life feel like the same thingRepeated year to year
The only thing changing is the characters
But the lessons are the same
Cause I have the same feelings
And I never learn.
I look back at old journals
That tell of a time
So long before ours
Before simplicity was devoured
And while the setting was so vastly different -
Essentially
It was the same.
So what am I doing here but walking in circles
Scratching with pencils and searching for words
To find a phrase and complete a poem
So I can turn the page
Think about -
And go on.
