Map the Following Path

When you try to jot down something, it isn't always clear.

By Monique StarPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I walk down a dirt path.

There are many options

Some that are grassed,

Some flowered,

Some even defy nature.

My best interest isn't to question them;

Tis only to map them for future use.

I stare at the paths and plot them down.

As I look over the birthed writings and drawings,

I feel something is missing.

I look up again:

The view gets fuzzy.

I wasn't in need of glasses for them before.

I strain my eyes and mind.

Surely they'll be clearer than crystal again.

Maybe I can fill in blanks.

I attempt to draw and write anew.

I look up, but someone cut the cornea line.

I look down, and I fail to separate

Which memories were fact or fabricated.

I close my eyes and look up to see...

A plain dirt path where corneas can't catch the chimerical.

About the Creator

Monique Star

I'm not the most sophisticated adult out there. I'm also not the best at communicating all the time, but I do try my best to get my thoughts out there into the world verbally or nonverbally.
