Wickless Indifference
Sometimes I feel
like a candle with no wick
A smooth ball of wax
for flames to trick
Pleasant on the outside
but no purpose within
For what is a candle
without means to an end?
A flicker of spark
strikes me so fierce
but with nothing to catch
It fades like the years
I wait for the day
that my wick will show
to bring back the light
that once ignited my soul
New to writing poetry and this thread as well. I’m open to any and all feedback.
