Runner Up

I speak to the dark
Will I always be a red shirt?
Some runner up
Am I calloused or courageous?
I asked my pets
If anyone could love me like them
One short reply
They were asking me if I could just keep quiet
Quiet
I normal out
There is nothing less dynamic
Nothing stands out
Just a stillness of the lonely
Take two more months
I’m okay with the perception
Daily provider
Blue is the ink I used to sign your name
Name
I’m of the mind
Your dispassion made you smarter
Nothing of none
Just a wandering of the slower
That god of arrogance went from thoughts to in your bloodstream
Behind your eyes
Shows the difference between the life you lead and need
The life you want and need
The prophet inside me
You knew how this would be
