Roots; a poem (tho/en)

🏠︎ Home

What does really matter when my worldview can be shattered by a single thought?

i think
i'd rather not know
why i always dig so deep
until my roots can be thrown out.

i'd rather be normal, i might be-
i'd rather be able to accept normalcy
to fit in, to not mind
even if it made me
hate who i'd be.

what did i expect?
to find a crumb of happiness,
for meaning to sprout?
i'm worthy of it
but always searching at
abandoned places,
unlit roads.

i won't hold
onto anything, am i wrong?
i am a child that shapes the mould
to not fit
to break dreams
to kill hope.
