packing up

One of the worst things

That always had befallen on a human

Is moving out. Stretching out to go fill an other space.

Etching to problems, arguments

Tiredness and sweet decadence,

I wouldn’t wish that upon any miser:

Documents years old dated.

2012 old english essay, with the glimmering grade of my wasted youth.

Decrepit pictures from a dilapidated past, that one wishes to keep secret,

yet time spills you out like a broken emotional machine, gasping for air of relief but all that comes in is fear.

The future creeps, will you be able to sustain this new change, financially and emotionally?

as I write this poem,

I shake at the unavoidability of my duties,

while secretly burning for this challenge

a challenge of a lifetime.

Bring it on, moving date

I whispered, as I seal my fate.

I look around, one last time

at these now unfamiliar walls

That used to hide

and sustained my benevolence

an ode to change.
