a thought

dissection of our chosen election, resurrection of the
past thoughts, passed by-me-nots, holding
tight to the fear you had to fight
to get to the dreams you won't and can't fulfill.
looking back, stepping back, back to where it began
beginning with the motives and the passion driving
striving to win at something, anything,
one thing you forgot was how to live, how to give, how to take
to partake in everything else outside of you
point of view now skewed to see nothing but you
you see past everything else but see nothing past your own needy hands
reaching, leeching, for what you can't have or be
be kind, rewind it back to where it all began to begin
the dissection.
