Untethered, By: Paul White

August 16, 2024 by Paul White

Untethered, By: Paul White

Immersed amongst the heaving throng
And tethered to no other soul
Alone with overactive thought
Adrift, bereft of all control

I must break through the blackened sky
That only damns me to my fate
I cannot leave my soul weighed down
I know I must learn not to hate

And face each day with clarion call
Each dawn to contemplate anew
To open up my head and heart
And find someone to tether to

I cannot leave my mind to wilt
I will not sit alone and cry
I only know hope must exist
I must believe my soul can fly
