Panic Room

Here in this room again mind’s racing the fan on low… and I’m not to be trusted can’t be left alone here with shot gun temples and a soul full of fear no worse place than now I can’t yell it more clearly I beg for your attention but I can’t stand you near me contradiction swimming in the blood of my veins I’d cut off my hands to send toxins to drain I’m gutless yet I’m too gutsy for action say that in public imagine the reaction I sit in whirl pools but I’ve always hated heat and claim to take a stand but I’m lazy at my seat and I’m always on time as I miss the bus again I lie in your face with a devilish grin I’m harmless and swear I didn’t mean it I talk about my conscience still I’ve never seen it in a world of swirling confusions I’m stuck on the spin cycle madness, creating contusions my game’s not over I need a fresh start I’m begging for new blood cus’ I’ve got a good heart

came back here to tell you that yes, I worked really hard on that Camelot poem and I am with you that kind of poem is boring as heck. i hope I did not bore to many people with my rendition of the love story. He wanted at least three verses. OH MY. It was certainly not me at my best! But I appreciate your comment. I am celebrating my Bday, so not sure I will get around to the cancer poems or not. I have been online so long catching up on stuff!! How's it going?

this is a really good one on contradictions and it is true of so many of us, at least to a small degree! So where are you lately? and sorry I never have gotten around to finishing my list yet!
