Get Me Home

Anxiousness has overlooked physical tiredness,

Angst has taken over control and i am lost.

Warm droplets trickling down the cold naked body,

Head getting heavier in an acrimonious way.

Closed eyes baffled with exasperation,

Been here before, walked this road.

Wish i could walk miles without being found.

Ain’t no fear but for one – fear of not being alone!

Want to be emancipated, been longing for it.

Meanwhile, another warmer drop, with hint of responsibilities, defeated in its effort to comfort you.

The company does not help anymore. The greedy breed call me crazy.

Rather than love and care, give me truth.

More thoughts bleeding with no room for contentment.

I lay my head down which will be followed by storm in my pillow.  

Please, Get me home!
