Time of Not Knowing

Time of Not Knowing

A Poem by vydenmyria
"

another attempt at getting back to writing, that comes off as simply being confused in life...

"
There was a time when I would switch
between extreme bliss
and horrible depression,
as if they were a change of wardrobe.
Of course, this time came at a cost
that I never could afford,
financially or emotionally.

Today, I live in a place way more obscure.
Somewhere, like a fragile rock being
constantly battered by a river stream
nearing a beautiful waterfall.
Always looking for an escape
that never quite finds me.

Nothing is as simple as it once was.
I'm blind to what I want,
yet whine about not having
whatever it may be.

During this time of not knowing,
I slave to the laws of man,
Driven by money, and this
pursuit of happiness
that I do not think I am
ignorant enough to experience.

I find this piece so resonant. Entropy is a terrible thing. The metaphors in this struck home for me. Sometimes I read a poem - and sometimes - like now I "Feel" the poem.
