Oh The Places We Go

Acrostic: "A poem or series of lines in which certain letters, usually the first in each line, form a name, motto, or message when read in sequence."

This is the fourth entry of my Acrostic Adventure series. So he has found his way to that place we go when we want to get away. Away from our mistakes, away from our feelings, away from our lives. But what he doesn't realize is that this place isn't easy to leave... and no one is listening.

**The "Overlooked City" is a poem that I wrote a few years ago. If you haven't read it, take a look. [link]


Oh The Places We Go

The rain began to fall more
Heavily as he looked out upon the
Expanse of that nothing place.

Oversight laid itself out before him like a
Vision of hopelessness and isolation.
Eager hands forever doomed to
Reach up towards an uncaring sky.
Leave behind past mistakes and
Open the gateway to the City of the Unseen for
Only those who truly wish to be lost can
Keep their sanity in such a dreary place.
Endure the burden of emotion no longer and
Delve into the depths of apathy.

Cutting through the crowds of the lost and
Indecisive, he began to think those old
Thoughts that have long since left the range of possibility.
You can not forget what you refuse to let go.
