Alizeh

Today,
It takes me a power cut and 4 nerves
To realise how far I have come
In lands, words and silences
As unreal merges into my reality
I never stop and stare
Afraid of what I might find there
Because it's easier to jump off a cliff
When you have a blindfold on
You might just never reach the bottom
But is it easier to justify too?

Today,
As I await a storm,
Listening to songs I never really understood before
I see how words are the same
But the shapes become strange
When your prism becomes a rainbow
And they crest and trough like waves
By rocky seashores and grey storms

Today,
I sit alone
In my own head
Realising I have not come as far
As I thought life had taken me
The rains have changed, no longer stormy
The sea is puddles now
But the water is the same
The solitude is the same
My head is in my head now
My silences have changed,
But I barely walked.
