Stimulation: Into the Lane of Lethargic Lamentation

[Before you read, here's something you should know. Parenthesis after the line means the definition of that line.]

Chastened by sudden change in mind - I'm exhausted, so stop treading my trail of thought if you can be so kind
Untamed soul has come to bed with me, but I don't mind as long as bad times don't unwind in my mind 

Falling apart again and again and again 
In the end, my tongue of devouring fire is splintered with remorse that goes out of course 
Property stolen by the storage room's hoarded belongings...boxes piled up like 2-4-6-8-10...
Recognizing the pain -
The merciless rain 
Reconcile our link of lackadaisical love behind closed corridors 
Miles and miles of climbing your mountain fountain has taken all remaining energy out the living-room window - the snow-white, see-through curtains

Don't snitch on me for being discreet with my personal life
The aftershocks of disapproval pierced me like a strife knife
The wounds beckon to be opened more, so dive on in inside my layered waves of emotion 
Plans of the future...failed in the past in the United States because the political leaders talk and talk and they don't do what they say all the way...I swore in my passion-confident heart that I will not tear apart because of the downfalls of our nation - the uprisings will rise above the downfalls, which will descend in damaging dread that I will not take part in 

Economy gone positively wrong, but I'm not in the position to point out all of the faults and wrongs
Negative reactions turn into silly, senseless songs
The governments of good and evil influences all in a fearful and inadequate way...
Chaos and commotion has been the results of predicting for the worst of outcomes - 
Assuming everything's gonna be okay, but there's still a huge amount of debt to pay per citizen of this Earth...

Moodiness has a way of enveloping my inner being - I need a mate or a companion tonight and today 

Mootness has crowned United States for a long period of time I recall...
In unison, we stand tall through it all - be considerate and catch anyone that would fall 

I have the urge to change my life around for the better
But...how? 

Vulgar language I heard one too many times
Grew up in a family of silly, little, mischievous crimes
Why are there many movies so crude these days? Persuasive peer pressure whirls around tons of High School grounds...education evolves around the rumors that make some look like a fool 
The aftermath of watching that equals violence and nonsense talk...Hollywood has been known for releasing films that has made a huge impact on society as a whole...and most people, ignorant with short-term bliss, thinks it's a cool thing to watch destruction, which is a sinister tool...
Insidious isolation froze into my soul of shammed shame...construction of my nature is very much needed, Lord
I've seen disasters that horrified me on the news channel...and it leaves me wondering "Where is God's Kingdom of Accord?"

Intimidated by the realization  
That I've lived life half-heartedly...
Forget and forgive with a sensation of no frustration, but of elevation 

Paradise road is the road I want to roam
Nervously, wandering around cluelessly 
Unaware of the time...but it makes me tick with slight anxiety... Where is my true Home?
Aimlessly, excreting my liquids of lament on the bushes of plenty 

Where am I supposed to be?
I want you to stay, not stray away from me
Shouldn't I be free? Possibly?
I'd kill to get my thrill of living life prosperously and 
In luxury...okay, I went overboard with my ambitious mind! My bad

I was running away into the lane of lethargic lamentation 
Vigorously, I was working a sweat and getting adrenalin's sensation 
I was sweating a lot, walking sluggishly down the block from my house 
I didn't walk that swagger walk or I didn't talk that flatter talk...I just crept inside my house like a courageous, little mouse...
