High School Trap

Je’free

The speed of the city
is swifter than my eyes can follow
These eyes, fixated on the past,
have forgotten how to see;
especially, the promise of tomorrow

Looking at my window,
bellied with sunlight,
the new day seems invisible,
no matter how hard I squint

Though I still wake
to click of machineries,
like a distance of a whisper,
I have not moved on far

I still have nightmare residues
of high school;
And, in some mornings,
they are lightnings that zigzag
through my brain which nowadays
has a shallow depth of erasures

In my diaries of grief,
I have an inventory of hurts
In my silent garden of tears,
I keep a garland of regrets

Today, I again heard nothing,
but the sob of yesterday,
and its reply

I tried to cut them
like half moons of toenail;
but, they keep growing back
even through the art of distraction
