Love it @nikinapier. What prompted it?
Also, would you be interested in entering my poetry competition? link here. It would be great to see how you approach it and you could win a share of my 30 Steem giveaway.

Thanks for reading @maninayton!
This poem speaks to how "ugly" I feel giving in to "normal" life's distractions that don't serve me and have nothing to do with my goals in life, and how many people around me (specifically Cleveland, the Midwest, or even the U.S. as a whole) are seemingly unaware that there is more to life than hiding who we are behind a "mask" and a bottle of whiskey, for example.
I would love to enter the contest! Only a few days left I see but I just went for a forest walk yesterday as well so my inspiration is fresh anyway :) Thanks for the invite!
Thank you for the story behind the poem. A lot of people - maybe even me? - are so wrapped up in the superficial and ultimately worthless aspects of life that they forget to actually live a life. I'm looking forward to your competition entry.
It's unfortunately too easy to do, but we stay aware and we keep trying and that's all we can do :)
