Feeling so high
Wishing I knew
How not to cry
Slipping through dreams
Falling through cloud
Hearing my screams
Sounding so loud
Hoping for peace
Preparing for war
Needing surcease
From keeping score
Aching for silence
Walls closing in
Pulse finding cadence
In the subliminal din
Wondering why
Options are few
Whatever I try
What can I do
Is there method
To the madness
World rides roughshod
Over the sadness
Shaking the bottle
Satisfying rattle
Twisting the throttle
Losing the battle
No one to listen
To understand my plight
Mesmerized as they glisten
In streams of sunlight
Clenching my fist
Can’t find the will
Feeling like grist
Caught in a mill
Clutching the wind
Grasping at straws
Only the end
Gives me pause
Slightly giddy
No turning back
Humming a ditty
Fading to black
A fast, moving piece. It moved quickly, but not so much as to lose the point or the flow. Wonderful work TC ~ Red
for this time and age, with war and other things like that going on. Also the feeling is one many can relate to. Very well done!
