All These Shoulds

Intense gazes catch me right in the chest bowl me over with misplaced emotions. Too many times have I fallen and jumped back into the saddle Maybe I shouldn’t get up this time. With meanings so unclear I search for a solid foothold that one topic not internally masochistic. Hours of taking apart people, lives have spread the pieces of me out on the table too. Maybe I should let go and fall off this mountain talk a mile a minute in those poisonous topics leave this puzzle unfinished. If those emotions don’t fit in this world maybe I should find a new one.
