Troubled
I look upon the clean white sheet and shed a salty tear
I know not what I seek my mind seems totally out of gear
I envision a beautiful sundrenched day yet see no better day
I look up at the clear blue sky yet feel no better way
Alas my time has come and gone and unlettered I remain
My heart feels numb without this compulsive resounding pain
I etch this scene from my very own troubled way
My sympathies seem to end in constant delay
Woe to this solitude ineffectual as it may
I pray for an impulse, some light to my day
