Stream of consciousness

Agony and pain

Straddle me with shame

I cannot keep the blade

Of Damocles away

I flap my wings to the sky

I slam and hit the cage

As I realise

I’m imagining the day

The dark is stark as the night

I’m panicking afraid

This can’t be my life

I’d try hard to fight

But all I’ll rattle is the cage

And my shackles at the reigns

I’m adamant and sure

That I cannot be enslaved

But without a catapult I have no catalyst for change

Lack of happening is maddening

I’m gathering up rage

Until the dam is full of rain

Sharks are tearing up the roots

From ideas planted in my brain

I’m trying to find my balance

There’s no calmness in the waves

The shores coming in

My heart gets washed away

Do I grip it or let it go on it’s quest

I let it sink so I could sit on the boat to success.
