Disengaged

Awake in the wake of an uncivilized marooning,

In fog of uneven amity, an amor simply lampooning.

I am choosing an amicable approach to disconnection,

I was born to disengage and step away from all afflictions.

What is missing is immeasurable, the absence so incredible,

But certainly I'll find the key, advancement is inevitable.

Enhancement of the self is simply not a goal for some,

And indecipherable communications must be seen as 1.

One meaning to be gained, one perspective to digest,

And yet i still don't get the underlying concept which was meant.

I spent my best in exorcism, growing methods of expression,

Yet I don't seem to get the message, offer no correction.

What a blessing to uncover what is truth beyond the veil,

And no matter what the casualty I do not feel i failed.

I stand on every single second, every word I ever uttered

And refuse to let myself become emotionally shuttered.

There's a thousand paths before me and I'll choose the one most luscious,

I'm unmoored but that spells freedom, I've no need for gauze or crutches.
