Ageing Silhouette Poem by Cody Maxie

Days stretch for weeks in youth
Just as summer lasts forever,
But the more youth fades away
The more this splendid time will sever

A bare routine becomes the norm
Sucking time and leaving me blank.
New experiences create a storm
in my mind, my ultimate home.

My solitude is my heroin
So peaceful and so deadly.
I wish its grip was not so tight
So my life could be a medley.

Sadly a fear deters me
To venture beyond what I know.
That fear of rejection and failure
Always makes me feel too low
