“Yesterday”

A 2025 Original poem by Axton N.O. Mitchell

I found my old notebook yesterday

man I knew I should have throw it away.

reading over the words I’d only written and never say

somethings they never change

a gut punch from the past hitting me full blast

each and every emotion

I feel as if the day I wrote them was

yesterday

thinking about the fact that I know not one of these people anymore

is so surreal it brings me

chills

it is a different thrill

I’m sure you don’t get this but

those who know will

and the guardian does

Memo from the Author:

Stay tethered.

More stories and voices will come.

This is only the beginning.
