Apathy (Free verse) by nentwined
Cannot see the trees for the forest of my fears
thick gnarled mental
roots thrust deep in grey apathy
can not is will not is does not is
dead
self-imposed stasis inside of my head
self frightens self in
experiences of life
experiece false, conjured imagination
imagination
paining so self seeks the gutter
gutterbug lonely -- frightened only by
dreams
dreams of mosquitos buzzing round the hazy fire
ignoring comfort,
the hammock, tranquility
fear forgetting life's abundant simplicity
green caterpillar gnoshing green leaves, innocence
the fear of the gut
stems only from the hunger
when the hunger leaves there's momentous
occassion
butterfly blossoms and alights on a flower
trust in one's own
self opens eyes and grants power
