The I of the Storm

I wake feeling groggy from the tablets at night Dulling my mind so I can escape the thoughts going round in my head Feeling safe as I hide in my bed Another day dawns Who am I today Hyper and over the top living life at the speed of light Or hopeless within a dark black hole returning to sleep as my day becomes night Can I be seen by the human race Is anyone there to look into my face Why do I feel so alone Like a zombie like a clone Is that because I isolate Shut every single door For I no longer like myself Locked in forevermore Written 26th November 2018 Competition: The I of the Storm Sponsor: Maureen McGreavy 6th placement Contest: Ultimate February 2019 Sponsor: Brian Strand 1st place

Many thanks for visiting Gregory, I will certainly keep writing my poems, as I have become rather addicted to Poetry Soup, - in a good way that is, haha... Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful time and a great 2019
