Disconnected

Searching for the right tribes in thick clouds that block light

Getting lost on a one-way street with toxic fog and foul fumes

that only I can feel, shaking, desperate for a way out.

*

Passion pours about this global number-one bestseller

But I can't connect to the characters like I know I can and should

It's a collection of tropes and buzzwords masked as feminism.

*

My body aches and shakes, my soul even more so

Yet my mind is determined to keep on climbing.

Don't let anyone down.

*

Alone with the masses, premade roads don't suit me.

I made my own, it's not perfect but it's one where

robins hop over daisies and stones.

*

Breathing in and breathing out right till the end,

Staring back at me is a mystic queen staring back at me...

Some people say she's me.
