boxed (more of a thought, than a poem)

From body to box,

Sunday brought back the reminder that death,

is the only thing permanent in this world.

 

Tears burning a hole in my heart, thinking back of days

in which I was dying to die,

and what for?

 

I have yet to figure out why we

live, or what I'm supposed to

do. The complication of that thought

processing through my anxious mind

drives monsters in my stomach

and brain

to start tearing their ways out.

Leaving each new finger print

a face to forget, and each new sent

one to remember.

 

 

I'm confused,

as to why we bury what we love under

dirt, but really

why the box?

 

Why not let our remains be the sprout

to courageous wildflowers and

sweet nectar.

 

 

The past four years have brought change in

everyone, and everything loved. Battling with myself

for rights and wrongs and unknown

crumbling pavement.

 

Haunted with "Where will I go when I die?"

Who's to say when I'm dead, because by my definition

that was April 18th.

 

 

These questions

and jumbling

blurred

thoughts

pour out of my eyes, mouth, nose, and ears

Imitating some sort of overflowing volcano

of insanity.
