Who Have I Become?

just a thought

a child, a man?

there certainly is no in between so then I am left with knowing I am nothing.

a kid who once knew the hypnotizing fingertips of love.

a father who just stares at the eyes and lips of infantilized beauty.

 

I move and breathe as if I existed in normality.

but I sulk and vanish into dark clouds that leave irreparable damage.

 

so who have I become?

I've outgrown childhood but have yet to find the man I should be.

dare I continue this journey, wasting air and abusing space.

or would one swift motion to end these days, of contemplation, make the world a more pleasurable surface.

 

each hour left to determine my fate.

to live unhappily or to end my days.

All too true. This is an extreme, but is something many people experience at one point or another. Poems such as these are either a hit or miss. It's all been done before. And although I've read many poems of this sort I'm happy to say this was new. This could have become very cliche but it wasn't, and I'd like to thank you for that.
