.|Trip Wire|.A Poem by Ha He GiggleI was asked to write about things I did't remember~ This is the product~ Please enjoy~I grasp for
memories as they fall before me, Like grains
of sand too small to see. Little
things now forgotten, Oh whatever
could they be? Steam
blocks your face, I cannot
see Whether or
not you look at me. I find it
odd but say nothing more, 'Cause
you're closed behind that door. The maze
I've built around my mind, Guards me
from clear thought. With layers
wrapped in meaning, But too
obscure to unbind. Where do I
reside in my mind? Tears come
too fast for my liking, But I shed
them with a smile. They betray
my weakness, But also my
pride. Because I
gave my tears a name. They are
called "humanity" I'm not
witty or clever, Nor light
as a feather. I'm not
gentle, nor meek, More like a
freak. I view the
world as a two-sided mirror Not blind
to the pain and horror. I count my
blessing And mock
those who don't. I accept
those around me, Whatever
floats their boat. I prefer
the cold of reality to the
solidarity of the mind. And whether
friend or foe, I treat you
in kind. Smiles that
cut. Words that
bruise. What has
anyone got to lose? "An
eye for an eye." That's what
they say. Will it
save anyone at the end of the day? Smashing
glasses, breaking plates Heated
words and twisted fates. Pains that
run around in circles. Lies that
cease to have an end. I can no
longer see around that bend. ‘Tis no
secret of mine, I swear, That I
wander without a care Going left
or going right I wander on
my hands at night I close my
eyes and see the world Dancing
feet that never twirled Catching
clouds inside my fist Such
thoughts I cannot resist Bleached
tears adorn my face I cheer for
those that lose the race Crying
second, laughing first Nothing
seems to quench my thirst None too
far do I see For all the
others ahead of me. © 2014 Ha He Giggle |
