apathy takes me.

by Bethany Peterson — Read all 39 poems by Bethany Peterson

this is how I've been lately.

Thursday, March 26, 2020

I hold the lighter in my hand

and watch the flame flicker
into oblivion,
as my thumb slowly releases.
in the flame, I can see my life
bright and blue
I’m reminded of the little time I have
and I don’t care.
His Grace

Perhaps a cry for help. With all the opportunity there is, there is little time for apathy in a changing world.

An ambiguous ending to an ambiguous tale.
Captured well. Peace to you, dear lady.

Yes indeed, a life caught in the flame, may it forever burn. Interesting poem.
