I've everything I need and more yet here I sit thinking, sinking into a past of memories I abhor: the story I can't quit.
I've shade and shelter, so much sun I could swelter, but here I dwell, pensive, defensive about a future I can't tell.
I've three cups, filled up with love never leaving me, looming right above; however, here I plop, disconnected, unaffected feeling empty, only apathy, and not wanting to stop.
There's a new beginning right in my face if only I'd open up my eyes to its place. Grounded in my past and all it's taught, armed with emotions that are no longer distraught, I should be ready to start my journey of glee. I should travel and marvel at all I see. But that doesn't sound too enticing to me. I'd rather be chained than free.
I'll just sit here and pout and scorn the blessings and boons. I'll worry over all I'm without. I'll brood over the broken balloons, the empty harpoons.
The past of my past keeps me anchored here. I'm stuck on fucked. My rut's forever mucked on this island that I don't see as dear.
