Maddening Wheel of Life

Possessed and dispossessed
in the blink of an eye
fresh pain in old wounds
chunks of yesterday's and 
tomorrow's pain
crowds today's vacuum
suffocation and nauseating 
sweat
slowly excites the numb senses
cleverly disguised in false 
colors
bleeding my inner soul
i gather to your selfish whims
but you are blind
you see me through the 
crowd's eye
listen endlessly to my hoarse 
laughter
as i circle mindlessly
round and round
this maddening wheel of life.
