It never was
What it could
Have been,
A burnt record
With charred dreams,
Singed memories,
And scorched screams;
Can tormented people
Break away
From the grand scheme
Of things that
Are usually not
What they seem
To be?

The eternal question for tortured souls… I wish I had an answer. To date, I still feel tethered to “the grand scheme of things” where nothing is what it seems and nothing I do seems to matter. You’ve really plumbed the depths of profundity here. This is a brilliant poem in both subject matter and execution. Several readings of this piece only serve to make me want to read it again. This is really, really good, Aaysid! 🙂
