One of my goals this year was to write more. These are some words I penned down. They might make sense to you, or they might just read as many words. 

Silent screams, loud thuds

Bouts of laughter, jokes unknown

Thinking outward, internalizing it all

People galore, still all alone

Many acquaintances, none your own

All pretenses, no one real

Joy all around, hushed words

Promising world, humanity unfolds

Helping hands, selfish reasons

Many causes, nothing even

Hoarding it all, sharing none

New realities, old ones undone  

Escaping, running toward a new dawn

Setting suns, darkness all around

Brick walls, chained gates

Breaking it all, powering on
