Milestones

Surrounded in vibrant sharp beauty  
to checkpoint the unknown  
Survived experiences devoured  
that could’ve sever hip bone
In jungle thorns of life  
machete swung at carnivorous dense thicket  
Would be insane to run the same path  
and more a fool to twice pick it
Resilient in conviction I beat trails  
to pave thin fragile success
Fought demons at trials in my wake  
asleep woke sweat grapple in stress
Stick a [milestone] at this juncture  
to save repeat of heredity queue
S.O.S. walking tight circles to arrive  
in fear only of retaliation I might do
Toss a lost thought in gnawed chains  
to wander darkness of abyss
Praises of glory Hallelujah to the Lord my savior  
for close call times evil barely miss  
Stick a [milestone] painted crimson blood vivid  
for each time dreams derail and went livid
In dedication to my youth(s)  
I took adult paths thru daymares to forget it
Volley pitch myself in-flight  
of Hanks one handed cornerstone role
Respawn to squander societal honor  
serving tribute as memorial cobble roads foretold
Castaway on utopian tropic island  
living secluded in middle of nowhere  
Jack Sparrow calypso hula dancer  
legendary odyssey cheers in solitaire no despair
