I’ve Travelled These Roads

This poem is a reflection of contemporary society where young and old battle their everyday demons to survive and co-exist.

I will be different, ever so slightly. Won't I?

A poem about how our dreams and aspirations are squished out of us as we grow up.

I am a fool for my silence. I am a fool for my words.

It runs through my heart, sings in my ears and loves me with its gentle touch.

You may know all this already, but in this moment you are me – a ghost of my past.

You've stepped into loose soil and have fallen into a pit. Like the kid who falls and becomes the headline for a week.
