School starting... never thought I'd be happy to hear that, but I really really REALLY am. Things can get back to normal, whatever the hell that is, I don't know anymore. Maybe finding something concrete will eventually happen. Anyways, here is a poem I wrote... like it, don't like it, I really don't care, but if you feel like it and have a minute, read it and see what you think...
“Normality”
A day’s journey ahead
Waits
For a place merely dreamt about before
Rough around the edges
Elusive and careful
A state so fragile, so rare
Often sought, rarely found
Start out
Curves
Bends
Changing time
Limits
Must persevere, must heighten expectations
A dangerous, haunting place
For it
Lacks
A clear vision
But wonders unknown lay just beyond reach
A midday break to bask in a not yet failed mission
More trying times ahead
But for now, a time to rest, relax, and reflect
Weary joints given relief
Personal and private
A state of mind more so than a state of reality
State so powerful
Alas
The dead can rest
The path grows steeper
Will and strength the only remaining tools
A solid cobweb of
Tangled lies
Silken rumors
Broken expectations
The unrestricted of the world must see
For such a state is contagious
Leaving nothing to the imagination
The last overhaul
One more rock to scale
Perseverance almost rewarded
Climbing
Ready
Set
Normality has returned from exile.
