Universal

I am in the place of my happiest memories,

but I am there with Them, and not You.

I see a map of all the stops on the way,

the moments I saw in dreary blinks

as I slept through what I didn't want to remember.

And now I'm here, and it's too late to say no,

so I drift through more moments with more dreary blinks.

I let it all pass me by like another dream,

because I want it to be a dream,

and I wait for the joy of trying again.

Notes: I have a lot of recurrent dreams and decided to write a small collection of poems about them. one of them is about going places I planned to go to with my bio family before I disconnected from them. it was actually a dream where I was at Universal Islands of Adventure with the people I was on a game development team with that drove me to become friends with them in the first place, eventually cutting off the person that needed to be cut off and putting a safe distance between me and the rest.
