I have listened to the edge of insanity
groped for a reason, an answer, a clue
all the while slipping further away
into the recesses
of pitiful and desolate blue...

I find myself sitting on idle
waiting for anything that sounds like a favorable thought
where's my encouragement?
dead, I think
along with the rest of me as I slowly rot
here in the valley of indecision,
life filters by
I hear it sometimes,
laughter and sighing with hope
yet, I am stuck in this evil, sick joke
of back winded strides from decades ago,
somehow the madness has found me
swallowed what was left of the antidote
slapped away my hands as they rose to reach
puked on my dreams
and left me
with less than I ever conceived ...
