Abstract Introspection

Flashlights beaming through the midnight hour
A flash of lightening and burning fire
My mind is ripe
With thoughts for the picking

Shifting to & fro
Finding it hard to let go
Memories revisited
Friends forgotten

Picking through misconceived notions
While listening to the ticking of my heart

I unravel & come apart
Don't dare to try & figure me out
I am a jester
A man with a thousand faces

Always feeling out of place
I pace myself for scrutiny 
The alarm screams
As I awaken from introspection.
