Nowadays Poem by Kyle Jones

Nowadays

Rating: 4.7


Look at me now!
Flipping off churches and spitting at stars around the moon
Hoping, dreaming, praying, wishing
...
Maybe you'll come home soon
But even if you did, would I still be alive?

And now I've grown so distant
Even from the ground I stand on

Perfectly complete
Completely revolting

And I've had this feeling,
that If I met me on the streets
I'd want to kill and rob me

Nowadays I'm Hoping, dreaming, praying, wishing
...
Maybe you'll come home soon
...
Yet I'm wondering, fearing, and dreading the possibility
...
Even if you did, would I still be alive?

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

I have the same fear. My life just got a whole lot better, but I'm scared that what went through will leave me forever scarred. I'm scared I won't feel anything again, that I'll never be happy, and that I'll never truly 'live' again. I think that's what you mean here. Beautiful poem! I loved reading it!
