Myriad Roads Dead

by Kakera   Jun 19, 2014


2010 -- ?? ??

I cleansed my spirit from the past. (Grassy fields, withered flowers)
I chose a path I dare not walk. (Hills with skyscrapers looking at me)
Regret is not exactly what I feel. (The dead acres that life left)
Life taught me harshly (The wind fades into hollow)

Too tired to keep on walking. (stuck in myriad crossroads)
Wonderful scenery, beautiful silence. (Life left too soon)
Am I a lying pariah among even more liars? (Kingdoms borderless in united soil)
Outcast from their beliefs. (Where to go, where to go..?)

Life taught me slowly, and the lesson was harsh.
(Slowly, all paths fade into dusty plain)
Nothing left, nowhere to run.
(And the silence breeds the shame)
Hollow bones, a broken face
(Puppeteers of claustrophobic disgrace)
Maybe later, dare I forget
(Somewhere, nowhere, anywhere)

Note: I wrote this just before I turned sixteen. I found it randomly earlier today stumbling over old notebooks, and found it extremely weird. I seriously have no idea of how I wrote this, nor why it is structured like it is. But I kinda like it. Good job, old and dead past me!

    This is completely different.
    Looking our past in notebook is a good feel and some times we wonder "this is me?"
    there is sum smile or sadness when we recall our memories.
    Good poem.

      It is definitely different from how I usually write. I know that many of the lines and themes were inspired by a certain song, but that's how inspiration always work (for me anyway). The structure is weird. It feels like there are two poems within one, yet without them feeling completely disconnected. Pretty much the only reason I decided to publish it in the first place. Because it's weird. Really weird. Wish I remembered my mindset and when in my life I wrote it.
