when i find myself . wondering where i should be . i’m in the right place
our aspirations . we call dreams; actual dreams . are the opposite
what was forgotten . is oftentimes remembered . superficially
an obstructed view gives perspective otherwise unavailable
we don’t often think . about many common things . or why they’re common
we are conditioned . to choose the sugar, over . something of substance
we need to emerge . from our comfort zones sometimes . in order to grow
to live as neighbors . we don’t need to agree, just . respect each other
when the hours slip by . unnoticed, it makes the years . inconsequential
the lone sentinel . silently watching, we pay . no attention to
