En Route

Lines were forming around me--
backward and fore
ward
and circling back

From beyond the ominous trees--
how it should be told
how it should unfold with a wall to be climbed
and offers you this chilling challenge to find a way out

Giving me all kinds of reasons to say that it didn't exist
but it did exist

I wasn't wrong

Just outdated

Opinionated with the wrong conviction
the kind that would be the beginning of my demise
the origin of my bell curve
the misconception of self-satisfaction

And one day--
one day, I would tell you all the ways I could have changed your life--

my


mine
