It has been seven months since I have posted a poem, Seven months since I have closed a tome. Signed and sealed, a book collecting dust, My gilded cage open, now collecting rust. High School heat gave way to the gentle ocean's wisdom, My life has taken such a turn, **** no word rhymes with wisdom. Maybe I no longer have such a need for these words, When I look back I think maybe poems are for nerds. Nerds and artists who take themselves too seriously, And seriously what the **** rhymes with seriously? But too seriously is not how I have learned to look at me, I am slowly learning to be ok with being free. Health and life and joy and passion, I have opened myself up in a quite painful fashion. And I must learn to be kind to my past distractions, I must learn to embrace  how I was divided in fractions. Fractions that now are becoming whole, And how beautifully the word whole rhymes with soul. My soul which no longer desires depressions, But a soul that is willing to ask these questions. Love and aching still burst my chest, The weight of my youth can drown out the rest. But I have healed and grown in these seven months, **** I have done it again, nothing rhymes with months.

Seven Months
It has been seven months since I have posted a poem, Seven months since I have closed a tome. Signed and sealed, a book collecting dust, My gilded cage open, now collecting rust. High School heat gave way to the gentle ocean's wisdom, My life has taken such a turn, **** no word rhymes with wisdom. Maybe I no longer have such a need for these words, When I look back I think maybe poems are for nerds. Nerds and artists who take themselves too seriously, And seriously what the **** rhymes with seriously? But too seriously is not how I have learned to look at me, I am slowly learning to be ok with being free. Health and life and joy and passion, I have opened myself up in a quite painful fashion. And I must learn to be kind to my past distractions, I must learn to embrace  how I was divided in fractions. Fractions that now are becoming whole, And how beautifully the word whole rhymes with soul. My soul which no longer desires depressions, But a soul that is willing to ask these questions. Love and aching still burst my chest, The weight of my youth can drown out the rest. But I have healed and grown in these seven months, **** I have done it again, nothing rhymes with months.
