Sequestered Soul

Sequestered soul ….you are

Barren yet abundant

Giving yet lacking

Optimistic yet doubtful

Outgoing yet introverted

Boisterous yet quiet

Audacious yet afraid

Assertive yet anxious

Inquisitive yet indifferent

Passive yet aggressive

Loving yet .. still loving

Because you love immensely

And you love intensely

There is no other way

That you possibly know

And so you shall grow

And embrace your role

My dear sequestered soul

Thirty minutes later this poem was created. What better song than this gem by The Killers. That scene from Stranger Things where Max Mayfield runs back to life while listening to Running Up That Hill… well that is what this song speaks into me. LIFE. Perhaps the most introspective poem I’ve penned in the spur of the moment.

Inspiration of the poem: self. Literally.
