the choices of lonliness

August 23rd, 2013 § 0 comments

Poem #222 for Tommy Carney

 

waking up lonely
frustrated
having so much to say
knowing so much
feeling stuck
powerless
uneducated
insignificant
lost

i tell myself frequently that
it is all my choice
staying me or changing
yet lately
i am beginning to believe
that too much is out of my control
that
even if i choose wisest
the collective pain of man’s gluttony
will never cease

and not many seem to care

this loneliness is an anvil on
the same soul i try to keep so optimistic
so naive

then i suppose these thoughts
in and of themselves
are also choices…

concluding to
choose to feel pain
choose to conform
choose to rebel
or
choose nothing

af

(written in little notebook)
