17 - horizons; define it; hip revelations

words mean nothing when you don't know what to say
or when you can't speak
you're too shocked
afraid.
lonely.
it gets lonely sometimes
i guess it does for everyone
but i'm still waiting for things to begin
why have they not bloomed
like nebulous clouds, a glittering constellation
bright new birth
the start of time
the start of a golden age
still stuck in the navy blue and gold age
stuck there.
stuck
stuck
tar slurps at your ankles
and you can't get away.
you have to wait.
someone will come for you eventually.
maybe.
it depends on trust
and what you make of what you have
still stuck at home 
when home can be anywhere
and i wish it was somewhere else
somewhere bright and strange and foreign
unfathomable
unaverage
the reception of good news
has left me feeling
rather the opposite.
mechanisms on my teeth
"they'll make you beautiful"
they say.
well
i don't want beautiful
i want mysterious, strong, dignified
interesting, individual, intelligent
in in in 
i would rather have anything
than beauty
god knows what beauty even is
why strive for something 
when the definition
is still unknown
who even cares to find out
i don't.
not meant to be a poem
just thoughts
they ring 
wanting exit
wanting to be shouted across the world
a wave of force
strong enough to sever a thousand trees
to whip back the tops of the mountains
everest.
i am the whole geeky package
and i wouldn't trade it
for the world.
that's the best thing
isn't it
that feeling 
it's just that 
this place has outgrown me
don't broader horizons exist?
will they ever?
i wish they would
please, o please,
broad horizons, 
show yourselves.
sooner would be nice.

coherent thoughts
are too mainstream.
let's all be hipsters
holla
poets are hipsters
aren't they

shakespeare
u so hipster
