My Power Point

My power point I lost
My ink to the roots of reality's 
closed
My stick to walk when the edges 
of my ankle sores
Sinking slowly in boat I've 
watched
My inner builder just a one 
faulty step it fell
Like winter tree leaves it blew 
away
As there were no foundation it 
never stood
Died like little rats poisoned in 
food
My power point I lost
In the heart it ache so bad I 
weep
With tears in my pillow can't 
sleep
So much of what I don't need
Planted in my path with a strong 
seed
Developing no matter how I try 
cut the ties
