Bouncing Off The WallsA Poem by Fraser Murray
Always bouncing off the walls for all the wrong reasons,
I'm not even f*****g living; I'm just drunk way out of season, And a straight line is not mine when it comes to dragging feet So I just grab myself a pint and find a place to take a seat, Until I stumble, bumble over words I should've mumbled, Under breath so cracked with smoke that I can barely feel the rumble of a Windpipe sick of this life, I slip and fall and tumble to a place where men like me throw their dreams unto the jungle, To be lost beneath this canopy of "truth" I've fabricated since my youth, The message I see in the words Is what separates me from you, As if delusion can excuse an empty mind With a short fuse, As if the grind I left behind is slowly sprouting from the roots Of a flower I dismembered when my heart had hit the roof of apathy, But that's the sick problem with me; I can let my mind be intertwined with souls who rarely ever see The depth of existential dread which consumes me constantly. © 2020 Fraser Murray |
