Never more—that's what I am
in my early years of sifting
through confusion and
lost rhymes in this worldLike a broken hearth
chipped but still burning
albeit a little down
—never more sadness
has reached my heart
until knowNever more triumphs
and never more echoes
of the carefree past
I once lived—
like a flame doused
with kerosene
is my attitude, doing
more and more until
I'm worth something
as proof of my hardwork
and contribution to societyNever more—that's who I am
in this place of demanding
industries and income-fixed
inconsistencies—
a wrinkle in the fabric
of manufactured entertainment
because I'm too wild to fit in boxesLike a dying athlete fatigued
but still running the race
albeit a little weak
—never more wishes
has visited me in
my sleep tonightNever more grails
and never more crosses
of the rejection and apathy
I garnered all these years
—like a glitching record
and a shattered vase—
I am never more sorry
today and I—
I am never more than
this day and age
