<p>“the world is too much with us”?<br />
pah! Ive too much of the world<br />
and yet not enough, for I am still young and inexperienced</p>
<p>I love a good romp in the wilderness<br />
bringing me back to my days as a young child, still naive<br />
assured that there would always be something to catch my fall<br />
but no matter how many synonyms for “magic” you stuff into a shoddy poem<br />
it just drains it when you take seventeen (or more!) stanzas to get your words across<br />
did nobody ever tell you that brevity is key?</p>
<p>I can feel disconnected too<br />
always have, always will<br />
but that doesnt mean that I have to prostrate myself to outdated religions<br />
in order to find a sense of self- rather, the opposite<br />
for melding myself to a set of expectations I know I will never achieve<br />
would be tantamount to suicide</p>
