Come Out, Come Out- Wherever You Are

With Peace of Mind just in my grasp,
I fall from Cliffs of Catastrophe
Before I wake, subconscious lapse-
Snapping me back to "Reality"
From which I run, I flee- evade,
I must escape at any cost!
To elude the Pain and Problems made
Which wear me thin and leave me lost...

This is an epic poem. Glad I stumbled upon this one, trying to find my sister's poem called Come Out (a collab me and my sis wrote). This one's fantastic. Love these two first lines: With Peace of Mind just in my grasp, I fall from Cliffs of Catastrophe. Awesome from beginning to end!

Chan Chan I will catch you when you fall and make sure your reality doesn't wear you thin or break you. And if I can't we can share a rubber room together LOL Thanks for the amazing comment on my Protected Heart poem. Hugs and Love Sweet Pea

Your mastery with words has been noted. You marshal words with adeptness that leaves nothing to be desired. What a poem...JM

You both humble me and make me smile with your words, Joseph; I appreciate them more than you can know :)
