Chapter 17: unpredictable

bloodredroses | poetryWords: 1424

indefinite, we're unpredictability

the concept of humanity.

thoughts with a capability

to form works of art

- paintings, music, poetry

never even running out of capacity.

uncertain, we're blurred and obscure

oh, how much could one person endure?

how delusory of me

to think I'd know about you,

seems like even you can't say you do.

even I must admit:

I embody unpredictability,

I don't think I fully know yet who I'll be.

but I believe in the person I want to become

acid rain falls,

forcing me out of my comfort zone

my jeans stained by grass,

my shoelaces have become undone

- but it doesn't matter,

if it's what it takes

to understand myself better.

I've come a long way,

infinite paths ahead of me,

catching memories is therapy

and I can't help but wonder about all this unpredictability.

it must sound crazy,

but I think I might not even grasp yet who I'll be.

out of all words in the english dictionary 'unpredictable' has got to be my favourite. I always loved how this simple word comprises everything yet nothing, all at once - it's fascinating.

Because of that I always wanted to write a poem about it and I'm actually happy at how it turned out, as it came together very spontaneously.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments and leave a vote if you liked it <3

annotation: 'I believe in the person I want to become' is a Lana del Rey quote from the Ride monologue - I love this one so much!
