Ryan Hardgrove- A Poem

Answers out there!

and the rains

coming down

like nails on the street

and I’m reaching out

into it

the loud shards of blankness

cutting through the air

rushing to the earth

while somehow floating

hoping something out there

can save all this

save this

constant cycle

deviate

the fucking stream

so as not to

repeat every shit mistake

for eternity

but the answers

are never out there

they live someplace closer

they live one place only

deep within us

past all the deception

we are cursed to carry

past the poisonous ego

and the confusion

of self love

and self hate

to search

outward

without first

seeking inward

is the first step

towards completely

deluding yourself
