Bridge

Already building up my defenses
So when I have the answer
Or lack there of
I will not completely fall apart
Then find some other reason
To remain here

Because we all need a reason
Don’t we?
Family, religion, adventure, science
CUR-I-O-SI-TY
It’s what killed the cat

Love was the reason
Time I think of something else
Something else as good
Something else as strong
Something else
Something else

I’m not sure I can fake it

When I am old and unable
Will I lose my mind?
And mix memory with
All the other shit in my head
And die alone
Like my mother

The bridge is starting to crumble

What
Exactly
Am
I
Waiting
For?

    Spot on! I knew there was a reason for picking this poem to read. Is it our age? Is it the unknown?
    I think a lot about my mother, and how our lives are so different,yet so parallel in the search.She was alone,And enjoyed her choices. I'm still young,but old and restless.There are times when I see my mother in me.I want to sell all my shit and buy a backpack. Just run away from all that is,and explore the world from my own perspective. If I had someone till the end,I would worry about who would go first,And who'd be left behind.Either way, You die alone.
