Gift-Wrapped Oranges

Short Poem

Detached from this reality and lost in the shine from the ornaments on the Christmas tree

Eyes glued to his screen seemingly

so that no-one see

His indifference to spirit and how restless his minds ocean be

But no-one notices like some Gift-wrapped oranges. A thought without thinking just given to him

Like they took a breath of relief seeing it as inclusion

Now he's disillusioned to the movement

feelin like no-one really knew him

Trying not to be a nuisance but this ain't nothing new since pain encoded in his blueprints.

Still not feeling quite at home then

Believe to be one the chosen, eyes bleed out embers still glowing

Born to rebel so middle fingers lifted to show em

See these pieces of this man already broken

Consequences end up resulting in tiptoeing over the shells don't break em reload em

About the Creator

The Lost Storyteller

Just a young warrior signified by the dreadlock my character class reflect the magic art of the warlock. A mind guarded more than fort Knox, I'm always on the move, so a slow day no I thought not and powered like a Duracell so I don't stop.
