Perturbed

by Matt Forget

Do I laugh or cry

Triumph or die

Terror is deep

Scared shitless I weep

For wherever I stand

Failure’s at hand

Remove those cold eyes

Or belligerent spies

Who haunt me at night

Fill me with fright

To expel my day

In the most powerful way

 

The shame that I see

Is all brought by me

My future is caught

In the entangled knot

As they slither away

Depart from my gray

They ran and they chant

While I’m squashed like an ant

I shed my last tear

Pass through my last fear

Breathe my last air

Yet so hard to bear

There that I sleep

Dreaming so deep

As you see that this way

Is my everyday

Author's Note: This was way back in 2002 so it was what I felt then. Now is a different story. I found this and thought it should be included with my works.
