My dearest treasure...

… is in me

Same time of day

filled with mundane

activities

reiterated over and over

until

my unfixed brain

have enough

looking for entertainment

in its own department

to stick like a leech

to the familiar words

in one moment of time

creating new ways

to help itself

overcoming the burden of existence

with one meaningful gesture

when ascending to the outside

the most common values

recognised by the majority

whilst I am in the minority

allowing me

to feel chosen

to reverse the harm of others

and land on safe ground

in the most treasured position

of an author

worth fearing

yet

not recognisable enough to reach it
