Lightning Sparks

An inspirational poem I wrote explaining my situation surrounding my life.

Of all this deranged madness

I see no beacon of light ahead

Of all this serene sadness

I can feel all the constant dread

When things come into focus

Even just for a while

Putting on my fevered mask

Subduing serene smiles

Thinking I will wait for the pitch

Never waiting for much

Coming across the musky river

Looking for the touch

Feeling like I do not belong here

Knowing there is more

Damning all the foreign pills

Swallowing barren shores

They try to keep me down

While I choose to fly

They try to subdue the man

Fading out when I try

Then comes the haunting whisper

Cracking the hard shell

Abilities used for succumbing ends

Disabling the crooked spell

I fight the good fight everyday

Shoving down the boat

I choose to not crumble down

Refusing sink, staying afloat

But then the innards speak loud

Lifting up the spark

I will throw away the madness

So I will not come apart

Again...like the first one I read...this has a personal touch in the write...the words add the striking nature of the author and expressive in the way they cut like a knife in the wholeness of this work...the voice is present and echoes quite well...
