Poem Artwork

Out

I stacked chords by thirds
Stacked nine books of words
And fat lot o' good it did me

Finding fame and shame
Two sides of the same
Bid for fame and life outbid me

Was too young to die
But the years slid by
And sliding home death outslid me

The appearance of failure offtimes is more insidious than failure itself. Struggling with who we think we should be, or wanted to be, as opposed to who we really are, can drive one mad.

After a while it seems somewhat meaningless, pursuing our gifts without realizing our dreams. When does the dream become a reality?

A knife to the bone evocative write for me personally Steven.
