Prayer
Why do I worry, worry
Worry all the time
I know what I feel
I know what I think
What I don’t know is how do I make them meet?
She said he said (running in my brain)
Looks feeling words
Washed away
Hypocrite.
Over and round and round about
Feelings
Brain.
Connection?
Jumble tumble rumble bumble
Bumbbling mistakes.
In so deep but not deep enough
Trying to fill the unfillable hole
Trying to reach the unreachable depths
The bottom, so close, falls out.
Why does the wrong direction always look right?
Why is there no simple answer?
Impossible to figure out
Impossible to surmount.
Too proud, too fallen.
Impossible.
Strangled cry wrenched from bleeding lips.
