The world feels strange, cold, and distant a million miles away with no intent to stay Th world feels cloudy, fuzzy, and intrusive Aggravated and agitated Tired and restless moving too quick yet frustratingly slow The heart beat of the earth comes and goes Waves splash and retract Building back together after falling apart I stare vacantly at the ocean a piece of art Emitting vibrations like ancient wind chimes Reconstruction as my mind rewinds It’s strange how your view of the world will shift and change Molded to fit a standard that’s been prearranged Strange how your values twist and contort No longer a decision but a last resort
This is my first poem after not writing for a long time It’s about how as you get older the world feels less inviting and you feel more lost it’s about missing the security and innocence of childhood
