Uncertain conclusions
I've come to the conclusion,
the one to break through all my illusions,
what conclusion is this,
the delusion of the subtle faint hiss,
some can't audibly hear through the silent noise,
the ambience of solitude,
a backdrop that nothingness exudes.
Behind the ship's wheel,
there is no describing the sinking I feel,
but I will rise with more robust sails, woven thicker than ever before,
with a resolve to avoid unnecessary war, with myself and allies, and even those who stray,
those who declared war on me ensuring their own decay,
Further solidifying my wish to make it all go away.
It's strange how life is once in a lifetime. The hull of the ship chooses to be tethered to the lifeline
Read the rest of the poem Show less
But I face uncertain conclusions
What Steers the benefits of confusion,
the ropes and rigging are stronger,
than ever before,
and chains bind no longer,
swimming in the sea of sombers.
Cascade of emotions,
slogans and ridiculed devotions, intoxicated under the spell of magic potions,
in oceans of uncertain proportions
Our navigation through our moral compass carved out of ourselves without duress,
I've dropped the anchor but still haven't stopped.
They're pirates that steal where our good is propped,
It's obscene because you resonate with the current scene
Finding our center of critical mass,
It's hard not to choke in the fumes and gas, doubt and remain bound in chains,
below deck Navigating to Stars are the claims,
how to escape this,
so ignorant but I can't ignore it,
It takes me to the underground pit.
Time to set another sail,
next time I'm determined not to fail,
Just like this friendship did
I'm behind the ship's wheel,
understanding the sinking I feel,
no longer afraid to counter this unfair deal, cards will no longer be dealt
to the familiar sinking I once felt
The sinking I feel now,
is that all that is left of the shipwreck

About Me
About me
I am a deep thinker from Oregon who likes to write about things that are anything but surface level and I enjoy making sense of complex things that are a part of the human condition, addiction, and anxiety, etc. Also I am not fond of following preconceived rules of how things should be done because I believe that I need to be original because I started using poetry as more of a hobbie and a therapeutic approach to making sense of a difficult problem and situations of being a living conscious creature. I am looking to plant a seed of thought and get positive and negative feedback on my work from other people to see if it is worth putting in a published book.
