These are more song lyrics than an actual poem (realistically all song lyrics are poems anyway), and they're a little angst-y, but hey, I'm a bit agitated today. I read it as a bit of a pop-punk-emo-screamo sort of affair but perhaps with a metal tinge along the lines of a band like Novelists or Silent Planet mixed with something like Bring Me the Horizon and/or A Day To Remember..
And all of this to pursue faults of mine, overthinking and not taking an opportunity or risk when it's right in front of me. My biggest regret is not making mistakes, not allowing myself to explore what life has to offer or let my guard down and let things, even good things, happen.
Natural State
Every time I open my eyes
Chasing shadows against effervescent skies
Congregating thoughts of escaping
Outside of this convalescent mind
You'll never find me here
I'm hiding in the leaves just decomposing
Another layer underneath
Seeking the answers that wait in silence
Such an impressive figure cut
With wonderful oppressive overtones
I used to be so lost
Until wandering became my natural state
My one mistake was never making them
In the first place
You'll never find me here
I'm hiding in the leaves just decomposing
Another layer underneath
Seeking the answers that wait in silence
I have nothing left
But these oceans of regret
Hands caught in the red
Impulses running rampant
And these agitated seas
Sinking in this disease
With an ocean in these lungs
Just dying to be free
Trapped inside these convoluted lies
Populating clouds to choke the sky
A tapestry of tragedy I have yet to unwind
Overthinking the questions to answers I can't find
And my one mistake,
My one mistake
Was never making
Them in the first place
