Acknowledging and Learning From the Experiences of Others

Your knowledge is vast
Take me by the hand and lead
Let me learn from you

Do You Feel Free Part I

My life is boring
This can't be it, I need more
I need to be free

Are you sure you're free?
She whispered as she leaned in
I couldn't say yes

Does he treat you well?
Does he ask about your day?
I hope he loves you

Permanence Part I

Permanence Part I

We are the same age
I am still here; you are not
you're in a casket

Please

Please

Have I become weak?
Have my words lost their meaning?
Have I lost your trust?

Regret

Regretting my past
I'm not like that anymore
Why can't I move on?

Stagnant

I need to get out
I can not keep doing this
I have to escape

What did I do?

What did I do?

It is obvious
You hate me for no reason
You can't stand my sight

#haiku

What I am

John Buxton Nov 2015

What I am

I'm not a hero
I'm not worth looking up to
I always **** up

#haiku
