A Nightlight Uncertainty Poem by Matty See

A Nightlight Uncertainty



Are you afraid of death?

I feel like that question is dressed so fancy, it would have to change clothes for me to stop dancing with it.
Pause.....
Have a drink at the bar of reality and ask your imaginary friend the real question.
Brace for the tidal wave of insecurities that cannot be mortared with your lies.

Have you ever really lived?

Spit out your fertilizer. Skydive from the heights of your contempt cloud,
'cause this life is like elevator music, it plays both ways.
I'd rather stay ground level, watching them shuffle in like folded poker cards.
Hoping the words whispered into hidden microphones in the twilight,
gave them their security blanket ID badges they needed at the top floor of their mind.

Never the bottom. Nobody ever asked for that floor.
I shy away from the bottom of things, cause the basement is where monsters live.
Like lost breath in a windstorm. Never noticed, but once its gone.
Butterfly effect.
I'm lost in your hurricane of falling...Of never living up.
But, if we were meant to fly God would've given us wings without confiscating our Personal Discovery credit cards.
