Unprotected

UNPROTECTED Nerves exposed in raw, deep tender tones Emotions on overload for fear of no one caring Life hanging in the balance cradled in the hands Of the incompetent fearful of the outcome Wanting to choose life through the pain Clinging to the notion that the feeling of Anything lets us know we are alive. Fighting the want to give in and become numb This line is so thin crossing so tempting Straws building to the breaking point leaving Backs grossly twisted, something has to give. Predictions of life ending too soon at the hands Of the neglectful feeling unprotected. Uncared for by the people who don’t know How to do their jobs, it’s only ever about the money Do what you do to the fullest people, lives hang From the rafters of your apathy Our lives flow day by day in a continuous motion We have a rhythm, if not felt we trip sending The next human into despair interrupting the Prospect of what could be like dominos we Fall into the darkness leaving us as children Feeling unprotected.
