Just thought I would share this poem I wrote. It's a bit rough, but interpret it as you may!
Solvent
My Path is a Path others would call insignificant.
A labyrinth undefined by Daedalus, in which others would find worthless
A road less traveled and discovered, but only by few
One of which I'll take because I am a traveler
who needs to find me
or is it you?
A path to be reckoned with and a risk to take
a long road ahead but certainly one I must not dismiss.
Frustration clouds my purpose of clarity
a dream to only dream or an exception of perception?
I don't know. I'm only a traveler of disparity.
What seems visible is not
What's right is wrong
What's real is fake
My Path is a Path in which others find invaluable
therefore, invisible?I don't know.
I am a traveler with decisions to make.
A barrier blocks my journey's completion
which reads "Don't let me knock you down"
and it's ironic. However,
such a vague message has never been so clear.
Yes My Path is a Path in which few bother to take
but my walls must fall down to pass the walls I will break.
I may only be a traveler, but disparity becomes clarity
and my aspiration is no longer a shadow, but a reflection.
My Path is a solvent.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this! It fits do well with the readings and discussions this year. I especially like the phrase "a traveler who needs to find me or is it you?"

I really enjoyed your poem because like you said we are creating our own path, but others may just follow to see what we become. I also believe that these barriers we confront only make us stronger individuals.
