So Many… People (Me)
So many people going by
Locked on their path
Locked up inside
So many bones wrapped up and scrapped
With scars in the marrow
Their tellings all trapped
So many windows, windows to see
Contrived adaptation,
No room to flee
So many lost, too little found
All tripped up
Laying exposed on the ground
So many worries lay in my head
Bottled backwards
All the things that I’ve fled
Stop moving, freeze in place
Hold out those mirrors
So I can see my own face.

This is amazing! I dont quite know how to accurately praise this one tho. So i will only say this:
You are one amazing poet, Lee. By far my favorite poet on DU. I not the most productive member, i read a lot of poems here but hardly ever comment, but i can honestly say that ive read all of your poems, tho i didnt comment on all, and loved them. I eagerly await your next poem!
With great admiration,
Steven

Thank you, Steven. You have no idea how much I appreciate that compliment, how honored I am to receive it.
It was actually inspired while flying to Colorado. I believe you once said you lived in Colorado. Your state is beautiful.
