Here Again
By: Kyesha Edwards

I feel drugged.

My introspective meditation exists in the mind of the me I have yet to me.  I'm entirely incapable of stabilizing my own thoughts, forcing the complexities of my reoccurring realities to depend not on the birds of a feather but the image of them flocking together, relying on the accepted influences of my "predecessors".  The elements, or the recipe, to me have all been suspended, chained to the unforgiving walls of self-discovery.  Vines of insanity grew continuously downward, haunting and stealing my breath, reminding me of the debt I stand before,

As I feel stranded.

The words expressing my interpretation of life dance whimsically across the childish imagination behind the blind man's smile.  I find myself living, or acting out, natural contradictions.  Some say I make sense, some don't.  Because along this road are critics with "constructive" analogies.
"When you chase your tail, you gon' end up noticeably digging yourself into a hole.  And when it rains, you're going to drown."
Dig myself into a hole?  That mean I'm a bitch.

I feel misconstrued. 

Opportunity knocked just as I fell into a cryogenic sleep.  Now the beauty, in the radiance of natures best recedes, appearing to me as the silhouettes of trees swaying across the walls of my mind.  (Seems I've come to so many realizations me leading me to so many questions.)
I guess, in the midst of this multiplying internal chaos there is a chance for change, though I have ever known was here again, and again, and again.
