Drifting Poem by Olawale Oluwole
Drifting
Rating: ★4.3
Is there any choice?
We've fallen into a pit
Where sorrow sings
And hope drowns in an endless sea.
Visions wear phantom masks
No one dares to lift.
The world spins anticlockwise,
And we row a boat
That was never ours.
Time bends.
We float, untethered,
Haunted by the echo
Of our own disquiet.
