The Circle Chant
Almost over…
Almost done…
I keep racing forward
as though there’s something to be won
Almost over…
Almost done…
running in circles,
waiting for the dying of the sun
Almost over…
Almost done…
refusing to acknowledge
this end has just begun
Almost over…
Almost done…
Almost over…
Almost done…
The star just to my right
is my oblivion,
the crowding in my head
hauntings of comparisons.
I’m overrun
I’m outdone,
these tendons barely hold together
this skeleton
Almost over…
Almost done…
Almost over…
Almost done…
and eyes close in unison
Almost done…
I keep racing forward
as though there’s something to be won
Almost over…
Almost done…
running in circles,
waiting for the dying of the sun
Almost over…
Almost done…
refusing to acknowledge
this end has just begun
Almost over…
Almost done…
Almost over…
Almost done…
The star just to my right
is my oblivion,
the crowding in my head
hauntings of comparisons.
I’m overrun
I’m outdone,
these tendons barely hold together
this skeleton
Almost over…
Almost done…
Almost over…
Almost done…
and eyes close in unison

I really like this one. But I think I'm only fully understanding the first half of it. I'm not as good as breaking them down and gathering every crumb like you are haha. I'm better at writing them than understanding them lol.

I'm not all that proud of this piece, it came out in the early hours of the day when I was getting ready. Its a chant I go to sleep to and wake up to, this poem really didn't give it justice. I'll probably rewrite it.

Be proud of all that comes out of that pen. Good or bad its got your name on it. Its gotta come out to ease the coming of new thoughts and words. You are a damn good poet, even the ones you don't like are awesome! Believe that shit. You are one of the only people I actually follow on here, I love your stuff!
