The Mire of Lost Tomes
Lightsome prickling
of
tempters stitches
Suturing
a
fairer structure
Itching my fingers
into
creation
Innovation
and
Witness
Undying and true
Foresightful
whilst
trudging through
the mire
of
lost tomes
skimming the pages
pining for a new soul
To replace
what
feels
empty
Don’t tempt me
with forbearance
Don’t sell me
wasted dreams
A settled sense
of deference
Will be all
I’ll surely need

Like trying to find oneself or fighting a battle in the mind. An indifference feigned toward the false conformity and lies of the world. Alone in this, truth and purpose in self is perhaps as a yearning for understanding or creationism altogether. Anyway, that's just my take. I'm sure it really takes on other angles of perception. Thanks for sharing!

It’s almost like a battle to maintain independent thinking in a world that blindly complies. We need more people that are willing to divert from the crowd and fight the upper echelon and their toxic ideologies

I've been coming back to this since yesterday and pondering the meanings. You have a singular style that is erudite and there is a sense of subtle overshadowing, like touching into great and sometimes malignant forces of society, I'd guess.

There’s definitely a sense of an attempt to fit in as an outsider in a sea of conformity. Like society is trying to mold everyone into these fabricated beings that blindly comply to the nonsense they spew. Individuality is seen as a disease that needs to be treated to appease the masses and their perpetually hurt feelings.
