“I’m doing okay”, now tasked to a lie.
The whole world is ‘doing okay’;
we don’t even try to move beyond the answer
when eyes, speaking words no tongue can form
spill the truth, tears begging release
from the charade the world sees.
Dissatisfaction running rapids from the waterfall
of my mind.
Even I the author cannot find the means,
the shining path of emptiness.
Wrath is defeated, ashes in an urn
stuffed full of other parts of who I was,
who I am, and in time,
who I will become.

“How are you doing?”, she asked.
“I’m doing okay”, now tasked to a lie.
The whole world is ‘doing okay’;
we don’t even try to move beyond the answer
when eyes, speaking words no tongue can form
spill the truth, tears begging release
from the charade the world sees.
Dissatisfaction running rapids from the waterfall
of my mind.
Even I the author cannot find the means,
the shining path of emptiness.
Wrath is defeated, ashes in an urn
stuffed full of other parts of who I was,
who I am, and in time,
who I will become.
