So often sensing danger
Each time
Foolishly thinking
If you do the right thing
Right will happen.
It never did
The right
Changing direction
Taking advice
Only to be more lost.
Glimpses happened
Of this day
These changes
These wrongs.
Open hands
Letting go
While my heart breaks
Of all it didn’t know.
I know less now
A burden
Aging mind
While being fully aware.
Now a distance
Growing to forever
While possibilities end
As does their power.
One day awakened
To freedom
At a heavy cost
Powerless.
