(bookshelves)
“not behind, but rather beside”
wrecks through my
brain, upending bookshelves and
tables, uncaring if
pages get ripped, uncaring if corners get
bent, i don’t care if there’s no
behind, only beside! what matters is
that i feel behind, and there’s no
way to catch up!
yes, my dear, i know.
i know you feel behind
but the truth is
we all come into this life
unsure of what’s to follow.
the most we can do is
live our shoe-laced path
often tied in horrible knots.
so what if someone
has something you need
before you manage to get there?
it changes things! i’ll
never be able to catch
up to them! i
will never feel as if things
are okay! i will be trapped in
this situation forever!
listen.
you will get there too.
and when you do,
you will realize that you reached it,
just the same as everyone else.
you are not behind.
i am beside you.
please stop tearing up the pages of your mind.
there are beautiful, beautiful things in there.
