Rebuild

Unfold the layers off this mask,

swallow the questions no one asks,

another day with the same tasks,

drunk wishes swim within old flasks.

Alone while others are around,

all aspirations hit the ground,

an inner silence feels profound,

wishes crash hard, but make no sound.

Frustrations learn to stand alone,

messages whispered in soft tones,

a deep connection with unknowns,

unsure faith rest, still as a stone.

The years pile on in the same way,

a routines mix, dictates each day,

bored numbness takes over and stays,

just then a dream dares to invade.

A yellow thought becomes so true,

the tossed old bottle makes life new,

the quickest blink changes all views,

listen to songs the breezes blew.

Tall solid plank standing upright,

the warm sunshine exhales delight,

self confidence offers insight,

builds a grand future that shines bright.
