I Feel
Inspired by pain
I feel so old and jaded
like a severed dependency
waiting around on a savior
that turned out to be me
I feel so full of desire
like a rose unkissed by dew
how do let yourself go
of the fear to try things new
I feel so full of confidence
like I can conquer this world
I stop sometimes in amazement
at all I do for a little girl
I feel so full of knowledge
yet the dull aches back again
grasping onto intellects
like holding on to sand
A poets heart is jaded
their minds a wanton place
our souls are old and incarnate
our lives a tangled embrace
