Lucy

A Poem by Jb

The quiet night

The quiet sight

The quiet thoughts

As they take flight

The walls can’t talk

So they’re quiet, too

They just move before me

That’s all they need to do

It’s all they need to do

To say what I need to hear

So I break the silence and scream

But my voice gets lost in fear

Because they continue moving

Just like an ocean wave

Constantly bobbing and weaving

Sending me to my grave

I try to close my eyes

As an escape, possibly

But then the foreign dimensions

Begin to consume me

So my eyes bolt open

Right back at the wall

That I saw just seconds ago

Though there’s no time at all

My pulse is picking up

Perspiration down my skin

Inhale, inhale, inhale

There’s nothing to breathe in

There’s nothing to hold onto

The world is still not still

It’s starting to boil over

I know I’m ready to spill

Because I’m stranded in the ocean

Growing weak and ready to sink

Stranded in this madness

Too tangled up to think

Waves, they over take me

There is nothing that can make me

Make me see what’s real

Or nullify what I feel

Up

Down

Up

Down

Parilyzed

I mine as well drown

But wasn’t this a wall?

There’s no way I’m trapped

But existence is dissepearing

Lives have overlapped

And here it is before me,

Up

Down

Up

Down

Closer

Closer

Closer…

I know it’s coming

Insanity
