I wrote this poem some months ago in the middle of a conversation I was having. I recently read it and immediately thought to trash it. I read it a few more times and started to remember the feelings I was having while writing this. By the fifth or sixth time reading it I thought it was worth a spot of the blog.
Just a heads up, the hasn’t been edited…not sure if I will or won’t. I wrote this in 15 minutes.

Subconscious Reality
With a gulp
I swallow the last ounce of pride
Listening to memories
It’s a process
But I passed the test
When I set myself
Up for the fall, possible sabotage
I conquered because I climbed
Plotting my moves as I collect
My things and dipped without
The doubt that usually linger
I moved on
I moved out of the comfort
That comfort zone
That typically left me stoned
But I was different
I moved with great caution
Not because of my motives
But because of the goals
And left you there
With thoughts and dreams
With regrets and mistakes
Feels familiar yet?
Is it real to you yet?
Remember all the nights
When I would waste my breath
My words on you
De ja vu, right?
