A POEM BY BEN PARKER - 3/5/17

 

i dont even know how all

this happened in one week

a domino effect thats left

my future looking bleak

they tell me just to climb

the mountain but not everyone

reaches Everest's peak

its left me finding something

greater to seek than

real life demons and

internet cliques

give me 5 reasons for breathing

when all the good aspects of

my reality keep leaving

this conveyer belt needs to

change from the snail to the rabbit

at least im staying clean and

im yet to gain a habit

but theres trends in the pattern

theres tides in this ocean

theres rhythm in the motion

of the actions ive been taking

if i told you all my stories then

you'd probably think im faking

millionaires in my tree

millennials continue making

a better future

everything we do is for the dead

i need some more conclusion

like a hole in the head

first world issues

but even some kids here

arent being fed

​

but i got angels that surround me

friends and family that never fled

they kept me grounded 

like a delayed flight

how i crave to go back to

those easier times

blind to what would be

to my old friends 

and my new ones

my doors still open

come see me
