"Out of my mind ……………"
  by Syndel


don’t know if I could trust what went wrong
For an opportunity to just be right
Was it worth it

don’t know if one could love without fear
When darkness is given life
But as somber as it feels
It lives

Its as if someone blew up a balloon to the fullest .
Kept giving it air… kept it going…. kept it safe
Then it
P
O
P
s.
(poop )

What’s left what are you holding
Wasted pain in a Memorex frame
Was the film distorted

Watch the voodoo doll dance
Sharp movement jerks and twist
Knowing the dance does it exist

So many dreams
No knight in ghetto armor
arm no more
To fall inside
To ride out the tide

Plead my case
Where do I start

Someone quickly
rescue my heart

The hand as shaky as my pen
I fumble not knowing where I ended
Or when it began

Just feels like I’m going out of my mind

Get me out of my mind………

Going Out Of My Head - Dionne Warwick

That was a powerful analogy you gave with the balloon, but is that not what love does to us.. pumps us up so much we don't even perceive the danger until it's too late... and, as you said.. what's left? The broken and mangled pieces.. I'm just caught up in that one part. I thought you did a job on this poem, poet.

Hell that damn mind sometimes it just can't shut up.... See that is why I take those damns Ambiens to shut my mind up... You expressed your self very creatively and you said a mouth full that all I can say is Man don't I know what you are saying. Well done Syn....

If only we could escape our thoughts for just one moment... But I know I really couldn't last for one moment without them lol
