Analysis of Living In Real Time
Living In Real Time
by
Kamilia Boyd
Many years flashed by
Mind on auto pilot
Crack of dawn she wake
eyes wide open piercing at the ceilings
Sea floor level
depth thoughts
Anxiety overwhelmed
Standards high held
Still dwell in darkness
As light swells her heart
Some so far apart
From reality
Living in past lives
Forcing her to alienate
She set herself free from marine algae
Entangled by virtual reality
To be or not to be
Who is she this millisecond
An anchor a compass rose
A hero to those disposed by society
An oyster woman cultivated in the rawest form
A pearl to many
valuable and rare
Steadfast staying firm
Strong in faces of adversity
A force
Living In Real Time
Her mirror speaks luminously
As she stares back into it
I am her I accept her
I thank you for never giving up easily
Though you sweat & shed tears
Through rough & rigid obstacles
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
You are the sea
No pause no stop no pivot
