| BROKEN IN MY MIND i've tried and tried but just can't hide the broken pieces in my mind. tension builds, confusion mounts but nothing can account for the broken pieces in my mind. a street of shattered jagged glass; lies ahead waiting me to pass. smooth and graceful i will have to be, this road will not cross easily. wary of things i wasn't before; i cross this cold cement floor. destiny stares me down, i look away, crosstown. the other side is closer now, a little faster my feet allow; nearing the curb i see, i am nearly free. stepping to the sidewalk, completing my jaywalk, shiny glints catching my eye looking down wondering why more glass, as far as i can see; once again, treading lightly, willing myself not to quit, i will go as far as my bloody feet permit. for i know, down the roa' , may be reality in view focusing to another avenue changing karma directs, to walk another track; the one that intersects, with a sidewalk crack. my bloody feet see no looking back, hipping the concrete, softens the tack. off the beaten path, astride the lane, on a footpath, killing the nagging pain. cheering my freedom with ease; killjoy of my pain agrees. so hard to concentrate, yet simple seeing the solution; when not focused on fate, being the sole contribution. healing feet are beginning, the ooze of pain has stopped. my mind has stopped spinning, reality and true life have swapped. mirrored images become the same, entering the same frame. duality differs but remains to blame, unveiling the curtains shows us a new game. now all the broken pieces become one, healing my inner soul, a new game has begun. written august 24th, 2004 |
