Free Verse: Clinging To Something
Clinging to something, oh so hopeless
Time moves fast while my mind is motionless
Moments wasted by someone I hardly know
This dull progression unusually slow
I cannot think and I go insane
Feelings crashing together like runaway trains
Bitter anger lingered with desperate hope
Each breathe I take I choke to swallow
Inside my head a dark voice screams
These negative thoughts simply barraging me
I cannot tell up nor can I tell down
And left is a smell while right is a sound
A vicious circle or just a terrible curse
But the truth is that this isn't even the worst
My mind is a poison and it's filling my veins
I cannot escape it and so it remains
Breathe in they say; take one deep breath
Feel all the pressure and let it melt
But it doesn't work that way, don't you see!
This is my prison, my atonement eternally
And my desperation rises rises to smother me silently
My conviction falling till it fades away quietly
So here I sit clinging to something futile
Time moving on as my mind is immobile
These moments squandered because I let them be so
I can blame no one for something I created on my own
