fire alarm

in this condition

my head is not spinning

but full of ricochets 

late night ruminations

did i offend my friend

stretching our relationship a little too far

another lays up in the hospital

and i should know better than retreating into my own head

but i've got no other place to go

my body tells me to

go to sleep

go to sleep

i sit in wonder

wondering all the worst scenarios

i bleed into my dreams

not wanting to sleep

there's no escape in that

there is

               no escape

Usually, the only way to deal with the problem (as much as it sucks) is to face it head and ask, "What do you want from me? What did you come here to do? Bring? Be?"

this is outstanding. One of my favorites.

There is no escape...
Very well penned my friend.

I am surprised as to why this has not received any comments. It has a superior touch that reflects a talented poet's struggles, at least that is how I took it.
