Stare
Nothing comes out
Staring at this blank screen
Stopping me in my tracks from doubt
Feelings urging to pour out
Like a crack in a dam
Turbulence ready to pounce
Strike down the cement in my judging contemplations
Flood the rivers
Overflow the banks
Let it explode outward like a nebula at its end
Flush out the poison stuck inside,
It feels like hot tar on a summers’ night
To drown the mundane
Bury it deep in a spectacular wave
Nothing escapes
All locked up tight like the vacuum of space
Dammit, it’s all just a drag
Losing my silly mind
Longing to spit it all out
I can’t agree with myself
So I knock the brain around
Going on without any bounds
Handcuffs placed on every murmuration,
It’s hard to escape from those gentle palpitations
If only one chance, to lose the hinges
Soften the blows
Scream into the air
And just let it all go
Nothing at all
A dark empty screen
Staring back at me
If I could, with a gasp I’d be good
Haunting perceptions
All coming back out of the blue
I hear them calling
Spooky memories
Flooding all back
Like a thousand raging tsunamis
Soon the dam might burst open
A majestic explosion
Flying concrete and debris
Knocking it all down like a tower of ice in the middle of hell
I agree, its all self destruction
The urge to burn it all down
Start anew,
Rebel in the dystopian
And speak it all out,
No more going around
Nothing has ended
Staring at a full screen
Something happened when the stars aligned
One day it takes for life to change
The ultimate force of nature
Driving me forward with spectacular agitation
What is it they say? Objects in motion tend to stay in motion
So push me forward until I tilt over
These words insisting to come out
A lifetime of things left on the back burner
So different choices made
Soaking in a sweet rain
And even with so much
I try and I try,
And Nothing comes out.
