I’ve been writing and not sharing
Do I care
And
Am I someone who’s starting to fear
Judgement
Introspective
Used to be a respected
Perspective
But I’ve learned that
The world and I don’t connect
Intersect
Or run parallel
I’m in a different sphere
On a silent rock
Just trying to be right
Because where I am
Time has stopped
Empty room
no broken clock
in sight
but that’s nothing new
What’s changed
Life is subtle
They say the devil’s in the details
The lines between the page
The ones that are hard to read
The ones that make you adjust
Your range
From decibels
To decimals
That’s new
A different kind of math
The same base
In the same system
But they don’t add up
Life is subtle
What’s changed
The world and I don’t connect
I’ve learned
That perspective
Used to be respected
Introspective
Am I someone who’s starting to fear
Judgement
And
Do I care
