πŸ•ŠοΈ

family trees bear fruitless dwellings

a relentless whistle that tears through broken homes

searching for an artificial mother's instinct.

you call for aid behind locked doors,

assayingΒ who is at your beck and call.

sustaining deep-rooted resent;

they deem you unreachable through the self-construct of barriers

fabricated by none other than yours truly.


loneliness; an ache so dull you'd mistake it for flatlining

the solitary are deluded into their isolationΒ 

setting up camp on premature deathbeds

so they can spendthrift borrowed time.


on a loan of olive branches,

sowed in the ground you pray to become one with;

do you think the dead envy the warm bodied?

permit yourself to roam earth so imperfect...

maybe then you'll understand.

as you bypass through vestibules,

you catch sight of varied elevationsΒ 

pencilled into wood carvings

your eyes in equipoise with the tallest marking...


someday you'll feel insouciance towards growing older

once you realise it comes with the promise of getting better.

Honestly this poem should be studied or used in classrooms. I don’t know what you exactly meant by this but with my interpretation it hits so hard for me and my family situation. Thank you so much for gracing us with such wonderful words. Keep up the good work!
