A Poem

The simple things in life are discarded relics Overlooked and forgotten A tiny fog enveloped by the sky and us, sitting there, waiting for raindrops that will never come

Some days I wish my life was as simple as all the simple things in life but I know it would be uninteresting because we equate depth with interest and I am a shallow simpleton looking for ways to power down and run toward solitude rather than bask in the glow of technological screenfare

I want to chase all of the simple things in life and put them each in a tiny jar labeled with emotion and handled with care so that when I need something tiny in my life all I need to do is open a jar and breathe simple back into my life

But the fact of the matter is that life is not simple It’s harsh and difficult Unforgiving and ignorant and we are left to clean up its mess But what if we paved a path back to simple and stopped trying to make everything so complicated and obtuse just to make us feel valid?

I would rather be unseen and simple A shadow, a ray of light Than always seen and bombastic A veritable highlight reel of best moments caught on tape And maybe I won’t be remembered for it but I will be happy as an uncomplicated human Elementary in form Plain in appearance but crowded with honor
