doubts and bubbles that burstA Poem by verbena flynn
clear like the sun's reflection on slabs of white ice
is the doubt that has entrenched itself rather stealthily in my mind one day I was sure as i was born that I would color along the lines I'd drawn but the lines I drew, grew into walls until I was a frog in its little pond the doors, the windows the ceiling of grey the bottom of the well wherein I lay the lies helped and became the bricks and I drowned in words before I could breath in a new world, the doubts still persist and like miracle-workers quietly the fabric they unstich and trim the edges till it becomes unrecognizable to the regular crop of poor pitiful darlings who would have themselves trying hard to the point of being repulsive and living in the lack of true comprehension that the doubts are important and that once assailed, not the doubts but the feelings of surety and complacence, often displaced, they make way for change so I think its good that the doubt gleams like soda in sunlight on my face. © 2014 verbena flynn |
