Alex (An Ideal), Poetic Musings

Dear Alex,

How do I become physically vital like you?

That’s just it, though.

It seems that I can’t.

My efforts keep getting thwarted.

And I am forced to diverge from course, again.

I keep having to self isolate.

Even as I reach for shared truths.

I find only my own limitations.

And a determination.

Unyielding, yet adaptive.

Are we anything alike?

I hoped to one day matter to you.

But I am only a bright star on your horizon.

Flickering and fading out of view.
