Clueless

by Alisa Js

I find myself in such a flux
Not knowing where to turn or even glance a look
ItÂ’s scarcely worth the bother
Walls come crumbling all around me,
Shifting sands of some other time fall vacant underneath
I reach to find a steady legal hand
I thought was there
And find theyÂ’ve all released and dropped
Along this ragged road I climb
And I am left, stammering, wondering Â…

Standing here alone in the crowd of circumstance
Memories of, what I know was real
A witness to my own experience
And yet, I have no clue
ItÂ’s all gone south or west or east
Internally, IÂ’m raging in this torrent of unsuspecting flukes
Those hired to protect my case
Grappling with ass backward answers
And ponder these outrageous thoughts of nothing ever coming true
Is it all a lie,
Or have I lost my mind along the way
And no one stopped to let me knowÂ…

I watch those smiling faces pass
Alleged adversaries
Are they really jeering, too?
Quietly, as they file on by
I sit here on this chair
That bleeds to nowhere fast
Nowhere left to go Â…

Alisa, I don't think you could have described the nightmare my life has been more accurately. I identify with this only too well and hold out my hand in friendship and encouragement that you will get through it. Hugs to you. Aloha.

OooOOooOOooooOoooO, the frustration of Lawyers, of stalling, of such run around, the many nights of just trying to get through each day. With the mold, the sickness and then the rest of it over the past few years of never ending. Watching you from being ill and the ordeal of this, has been so painful... It's cruel how utterly difficult and challenging it is to deal with those people. ...... I love you.. ...... This is certainly not about romance, but the sadness of the human spirit when your tired..

I'm with Stark on this one. Your style is prevalent here and well done. But the sense of loss in this one, to the very end, is different and somewhat foreboding of what you are doing here. Trying something different or are you in a fugue? Keep writing!

Hi Alisa. I've sent my comments privately to you, but publically I think this is a fairly strong expression, especially the second and closing stanzas. I especially like: I must have lost my mind along the way And no one stopped to let me know… Cheers!
