Raised Shore

Deep breath in slowly let it out Don’t forget the ten count Nausea begins to rise From some depth unrecognized Churning into anger Blatantly right before my eyes This deceit has no problem being spied No longer can I hide Seeping out of control Is the mind I use to own Tepidly tells the lie Truly have I been so blind Realization is so forlorn As the reborn tail tells the map To leave behind such an after math Of the less fortunate triggered decisions Oh so trapped Snapped, Cracked Lacking the ability to freeze frame What is not mine in shame Just mine to blame Competing for Raised Shore

Hi Christy, I must say you managed to capture my interest right from the title. I love the way you’ve expressed the thoughts of actions and consequences -how true. I’m definitely looking forward to read more of your work. Vicky.
