Capture - Awaken I Am

I’m lost

I’m shallow

I’m crushed

I’m hollow

Expectations amounted all on my own

Under standards I’ve made

And I’m yet to learn

I have faltered in a maze

Of misdirect

I’m heartless, resentful

With no love and no return

Moving in circles

I forgot what I once was

I forgot what I want to be

Moving in order

This stone was once a fortress

A trinket in my chest

I see a widening fire

It was selfish and narrow

Living with awareness

Once repeating

Patiently we waited

Time goes on

Save all these years in an echo

Waste them on ears

That are indisposed

Like I’m waiting for my

Body to grow older
