2am

2am

A Poem by AndyJCash
"

I had ten minutes spare between revision, so I thought I'd write a quick clutter of words and call it a poem.

"

Walking home in the early hours
After another night of alcohol
I’m not drunk, just giddy in the moment

It’s 2 AM and the streets are silent

Only my scuffing shoes are heard
By me, and me alone

Despite being frozen I feel great
No better feeling than the night
and the cold, surrounding me

 

Why don’t more people do this?
Why don’t I do this more often?
Why don’t I feel happy?

Maybe because people have a job

Maybe because I have a dream

Maybe because that dream is unfulfilled

 

I can feel the rumblings of the bomb
I know that if I continue like this

I will self-destruct
Boom!

Then what can I look back on?

Some wonderful memories

But memories don’t pay the bills
My dream will

Amazing write! I loved reading this :)

Nice use of repetition within each stanza for emphasis. I like how this focuses a lot on what desires we have for fun vs. what we must do in life. Aside from that, late night walks (10 PM, not 2AM, but w/e) are so insightful, thus setting the stage for this poem. Thanks!

I love this! It seems to put a bit of unreality into the very core of reality, if that makes sense. :)

Hopefully I'm reading into this the right way. If your conscious is the theme in this, it is brilliant. ''I know that if I continue like this, I will self-destruct''
The accomplished dream will definitely pay the bill of my conscious. That is something I can 100% relate to.
Well done man !

Kind of like Flash Fiction; you tell a whole tale in few stanzas. Well done indeed! The thought like feel of the last stanzas are nice.
