Approaching fast

 


I have another birthday approaching fast,

my mind is constantly playing catch up,

and I feel my life is rushing past.

My body collapsed lay crumpled up

in a lay by a few miles back,

whilst my heart just sits

catching stardust and cobwebs.

I don’t know how else to say it.

I’m lost.

I’ve spent most of my life alone,

wandering long roads to nowhere

wondering if anyone even knows I’m there.

 

I keep on collecting these milestones,

wearing them like millstones around my neck.

I sometimes wonder how I’ve survived this long,

with the weight of them pulling me down.

I just keep putting

one foot in front of the other

but I don’t always know

where they are going,

and it sometimes feels like

I’m on a moving escalator

that is just dragging me along.

whilst my mind is at the bottom

still trying to step on.

 

I don’t know how else to say it.

I’m alone.

And sometimes that’s okay.

I enjoy days watching the sky play

with the horizon, I like the way

the flowers sway

in the summertime, but I feel something

is missing, the joy

of existing with another.

I talk so much of love.

Because I know that somewhere

another heart flutters,

but I don’t know how to let them know

that I’m here wishing for them to see me.

 

So, I see the birthday waving me closer

and I feel so much older than my years truly say,

yet I also feel younger with every passing day.

It’s like I don’t fit into times plans,

and im on the periphery of another room

just looking in,

wondering what it is I’m supposed to be doing.

But maybe that’s the way life is supposed to be?

It’s an adventure every day,

and the pages of my book are still unwritten

so, I need to keep writing them, living them

whilst I’m still breathing.
