listen..

always

what lies before me

a path divided

"i want everything"

the words get swept away

as the wind chills me to my core

i shiver

another gust sweeps my hair over the glistening eyes

already they are drowning me

is this a sign?

i can seek guidance

but not answers

my choice should depend solely on

me

but they are all wrong

they affect everyone

and i can't stop it

yet what hurts most is the absence of

something definite

i'm calling out to you

in underlying tones

even though i'm

almost sure

you won't hear me

are you even listening?

i've come to realize that

after all this time

i'm still

empty handed

and reaching for more than a person should

infinite possibilities aren't

what people make it out to be
