Haunted Time

Note - This was not about anything in the real world.

Time beats on my head

Like the hot sun of summer

It burns my mind

I just want to scream

No ice cream to cool

No water in the pool

Just ashes and dust

Life’s a bust.

Give in

Give up

Jump off the bridge

High across the ridge

The ghosts chase

The memories haunt.

Death’s hand

Taunting! Hunting my very soul!

Why me?

How do I see!

Rage blinds my faith

Anger fuels my rage

Quick!

Put me in a cage!

Kill me...

Stop the torture....

The past is never a runaway

Bound in bleak ground I sway

Each and every day.

This reminded me of an old movie.. where he jumps off the bridge..and the whole town deals with what he had done.. the anger, the torture and pain drives us to the edge of crazy thoughts and deeds.. sad that it is the existence of some on an every day basis..xo

I think your review captures the essence of the piece very well. I don't even remember what was going on in my head or in the world at the time this was written, but it had a flow that I liked. =)
