Adapt

A poem.

By Adam SteglichPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

adapt to change threatening to enrage the abstract

release the latch securely fastened to these battle-worn ancient walls

relinquish the present identity forcing conformity upon the guilt-ridden past

forsake the flesh crumbling the soul, reduce to a pitiful crawl

launch the expedition across the expanse within the forlorn truth

traversing the worn path until the familiar horizon fades into illusion

breaching the unexplored territory, trespassing beyond the former you

eventually reaching epiphany eradicating society's implanted confusion

surreal poetry
