Questions and Dirty Looks

I remember why I left..

I should be elated

only, I am jaded

I’m exhausted and stressed

nothing to being depressed

In a black tie affair

I get nothing but stares

I feel out of the loop

knocked down, dead, from the stoop

A coaster on the track

that stopped in mid attack

a plane in the night sky

I’m alone, left to fly

I forgot how to breathe

my heart left on my sleeve

today’s not a good day

my life like a rope, frays

Questions and dirty looks

torn from a million books

nothing I feel escapes

like light behind black drapes

Five ways I lose my mind

is something of lesser kinds

I guess now I’ll just go

a lone wolf, out of the ebb and flow

All of my poetry comes from the heart.
