Short Drive

mad mad race to nowhere via the circus

 

Short Drive

think I'm being driven crazy and it's such a short drive

checking for my pulse and yes seems I am still alive

yesterdays heaven it was hard to believe all the bliss

everything ended well ended with a passionate kiss

today's another story same participants but a new theme

must have spent the night in a really teribly bad dream

don't really know if should I smile or should I frown

Im not in the circus but sometimes feel like a clown

got squirted with the seltzer spray right in the face

wanted to run away but seemed to be running in place

up and down like a yoyo spinning on to who knows where

flashing lights and dudes on stilts freak show everywhere

well another day of hide and seek did I look behind the tree

well gosh yes I did and you know what I found was me

tripping over my own two feet stumble and finally fell

I need to cover my heart with a hard turtle shell

So many strong statements in this poem. Life made me harder and colder. I had to work hard to be kind and gentle to people around me. No room for more heartless people. There are enough.

A excellent roller coaster ride with your words. A excellent poem.
