FuddledA Poem by Gilad LevanonSaturday night ramblings.
I'm muddled
My brain is fuddled My head is wobbling My fingers are fumbling Why is this happening to me? Why can I not be the person I want to be? When will I overcome these obscene addictions? When will be free of these ridiculous afflictions? When will I be able to stop these unthought reactions? When will I manage to fulfill my highest descriptions? When will I be released from my programming's conscriptions? My thoughts ricochet against themselves as I try to lasso them. They bounce and skitter and scurry away; sneaky, conniving strings of confusion. I try to consolidate them, to become rational, to reason with them and ask them to leave. But they snigger and leer and grin their horrible teeth and wiggle their way back into my disheveled psyche even as they appear to be agreeing to leave. They are tenacious, they are liars. They pick at my scabs and scratch open my scars and leave me ridden with loss. Then a soft bubbling beat rises to the surface of awareness Wordless messages emanate from that rhythm And I feel a calm begin to flower with inner fairness Subtle emotions if I do not acknowledge them But resonating experiences of tranquil ecstasy If I observe them and allow them to grow to what they will be My chest physically pained With the pain of the sorrows I once obtained But that pain becomes a warmth as I tap into the beat A warmth that infuses me with love from head to feet In solemn salute I press my hand to my chest And shed a cathartic tear to destructive ways laid to rest My thoughts now vanish as I am consumed My euphoria of being now emphatically resumed
