Fall In

No cadence, no tempo lacking pace
Thoughts are unstable--I'm unable
Inconsistently arranged deranged estranged
Ink bleeds martyr for my scatter
Think needs order hits paper like splatter
Contained and restrained resisting conflict
Aching for rhythmic, predictable beat
Realizing the cymbal, scoffing defeat
Exclaiming simplicity in most complex terms
Proclaiming complacency with ferocious concern
Sun setting, forgetting, resetting start fresh
Go numb, go dumb, become flaccid flesh
No cadence, no tempo lacking face
