Everything is everywhere;

Nothing is nowhere.


They don’t leave;

Nor do they breathe.


Choices they made;

Consequences they’ve paid.


In denial, 

Hoping for revival.


Soul is not forgotten,

Can’t get grease out of cotton. 


The author's comments:

This poem is inspired by the novel, "The Outsiders." Through a journey of consciousness, the narrative of these lines relates to the theme of isolation and how each choice has a related outcome that you have to be mindful of. The final line is a metaphor about the impact that someone can have on your life even after they are gone.
