Just another free verse.. ;)
Forever Stained
by JPilcher
Imagine waking up one day
realizing the life you thought you were living, turned out to be about as thriving had you spent the past twenty years of it sleeping. Waking up, excited to wake up. A feeling unknowingly taken for granted by many unaware there are people who may never know what a feeling like that even feels like. Blinded, an understatement when doing whatever you possibly can to thrive in a world, that in reality - you were barely surviving from drowning in. But then you wake up. Waking to find those years you prayed to stop dragging long gone, and what little left flying right by you far too fast. So you make the most of it, living in fast forward, doing your best to make up, only to discover those years you basically slept through left you tainted. The rest of what should be the best of it spent battling perceptions, undoing undoable labels. Finding yourself the one surrounded by crazy. Welcome to reality I guess. Wish I could say it's a better position to be in, but from this seat all I see - far too many perceptions ingrained, leaving me forever stained. |
