Bounce

Bouncing back and forth 
Or fifth or sixth or seventh
I can continue to count 
Still no feelingd resound 
Continue to drown 
Not knowing verb from noun 

Silent speech 
Secrets they keep 
Forever you 
Leads to truth 

Bouncing back and forth 
Slamming doors 
Trying to close 
Fights no one knows 

Will we ever hear 
The violence that's near 
Questions asked 
Mind attack 

Bouncing back and forth 
Death and birth 
Give in take 
Written fate 

Do we ever know 
The director of the show?
Or is it all pretend?
Present or past tense?

All that remains 
Foul or fame 
Whichever game 
Created to play 

Bouncing back and forth 
Empty or core 
Less or more 
Cup over poured 
Not giving more 

Just enough 
In given lot 
Will remain 
Ancient gain 

No matter the way 
Love and appreciate 
The light of day
