I’ve thought about this poem all day
There’s just too much to say
Won’t be perfect, but I’ll let my heart splay
Hoping it’ll take away confusion’s stay
I love when I can play in mystery
Because clarity is history
Most days I love the up and down
Today, that love has yet to be found
This world is a cage
Perpetually lying on its stage
People are being controlled
Free thinking has been sold
Listening to what they’re told
Love, power and freedom is old
Maybe I’m the weird one
For stepping out of this stun
The world isn’t all of it
Simply just a bit
I don’t live in this world, I live in mine
Reality is missing my design
And not quite ready to re-align
When the clutter ends
I’ll remember it’s meant to be
Presenting themselves as friends
Tests are what I choose to see
I’ll miss you on this specific date
We used to walk through this very gate
I hear your voice
As I make every choice
I know you’re still watching
It’s not that shocking
We get to talk in my dreams
Then our realities split at the seams
Thank you for being on my path
Today it feels so new, the aftermath
I knew this wouldn’t be flawless
At least I could sit in my solace
Emotions are gifts
Embracing my shifts

And here’s the image version 💛. This piece is a mixture of my state of mind, remembering the tests are meant to be and missing a soul who’s passed on. I hope it reminds you to be fearless and free in embracing all your shifts -Ace
