Giant Kaleidoscope

In these hard times, it's been a struggle to cope Like I'm going down a never-ending slope What shall I do? Must I sit here and mope I feel like I'm trapped in a giant kaleidoscope My mind is trippin’ like I took some dope Most bizarre is, I'm tippin on a tightrope That has been lubricated with liquid soap I saw a green man that wanted to elope I came to my senses and just said nope Now I'm trying with all I am; to cling to hope

Alexis you write so beautifully, I loved this poem and have to fave it - the last line is something that life dictates, we must sink or swim, and I would also cling to hope or swim. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

The trouble with trippin is that when you crash you crash hard and all the problems you had before you you took a trip without leaving the room are still there only now they are worse. Good job here. God Bless, JB

This is great! Trippin’, seeing green men! Still I hope you are coping. I’ve been trying to get a grip of myself having experienced a too close death (my mom) and my dad’s awful grief. <3 and hugs

Without hope we lose our trust in Him who saves us. Loved your poem.
