Set Me Free Poem by James Darwin Smith II

There is no crying
Tears are dazed
the state of
Feeling alone
Lackadaisical
On my own
so let it be


Frozen stance
Dreamworld advanced
Eyes reprieved
Visions seizing
Things they can only see
Solitude in unknown destinations
Inner euphoria
mourning the outside world


Beauty felt
Inhaling flowery scents
too many dreams
I thought were prophecies
But the future told me otherwise
I suppose this pause
Made certain things obsolete


Trying out my inward smile
is it me?
Feeling rather auspicious
yet at the same time awkward
this imagination at times
gets the best of me
Trivial in its own convergence
towards the outside's burden


Thoughts a billion light years away
From the real world
in a dimension all on its own
So perhaps this is the source
That feeds the alien in me


There is no river above
Buried it deep down
under the underground


The only way to find it
is to search without judgment
never taking it for granted
And realize why it was so protected in the first place


Dig deeper and deeper
Never be afraid
the more depth you find
becomes a safe haven
between us all as a whole


Invoke these tears
May they come out in joy?
Creating a river of dreams
to swim upon in rejoice
As if they feel like they belong


Never will I let you drown
I will do my best
to make sure you always feel loved


All you have to do
Is to take a deep moment to seize this soul
And forget that this flesh ever existed
How do I look now?


This river of joy is all of yours
Swim on strong
that is if you can get past
Judging me without
knowing where I am
where I truly come from


Even being in a void
I will always be full of love
the most valuable things I own
Resides deep within this soul
Will it ever be enough?
In a superficial world
buying out dream after dream after dream


This is about more than just love
It is about where reality should be
Who is strong enough
to comfort me out of my fantasy world?
This I would like to know


Set me Free
Me?
