Raindrops From the Inside

Ever so drowsily awakening to
the seminal dark and next to last

Falling leaves barely still clinging
and hanging onto the winter tree

I myself from here safely snuggly 
wedged inside

Now looking outwardly have to squint
in order for me to be enabled to see

What lies beyond the precipitation
which resembles raindrops only on
the inside of my this here front lounge
window

Both trapping and holding me in its
deathly stare and nothing gaze

Instill and cause a deep and trifling
malaise of discourse and certain
unease

That shall I without doubt have to
spend the rest of the day leave me
in a stricken state of mass maligned
distress

So i wish not never to undress or
wash as godliness come forth or
be summonsed next

And may just well relieve me from this
what fresh new hell

I have or may not possess the will
to carry on from

Christopher, I really like your spoken style. It’s actually, I think, done in a newer was with great flow. Like your work! Thank you for this insightful piece. Note, what lie’s beyond, should be lies without apostrophe. Same for the it’s in stanza after that. Should be it’s, no apos- trope. Distracting I corrected. Fine poem.
