#97 Indecision

You weren’t made 

to walk on water

but sometimes it seems

everyone thinks that you should.

Trapped in between 

the fear of drowning

and the fear that you actually could.

You’re confounded by the weather

seemed to be progressively greying 

for years

what ever happened to the light

that glints off the clouds

with the intent

to then

sparkle in your eyes?

You weren’t made to navigate

these seas

but staying on the shore

wasn’t option

too much claustrophobic

thoughts

projected in your direction

too many loud voices

in your space

when all you needed was silence

making matters 

even more trying 

than they already seemed

was all the stimuli

that distracted

from which

was the environment

of your reality...

All the stimuli

that blindfolded

you from the calm

and opened you to

this impending sense of tragedy.

You weren’t made to walk on water

but somehow you wished you could

because staying on the shore

wasn’t really doing you 

any good.

#94 Her Descent

courtesy: Wordpress Blog Random_Michelle

Contorted notions

of dreams

trapped underwater

bent at the knees

tears all dried up

as stones

bound in the chest

where monsters emerge

bursting forth from unrest

desperate to break free

from this cycle becoming undone

reaching for words spoken

that were meant to be sung

falling

to a floor of recesses

damaged yet new

streams of designs

Unleashed

shrouded in light blues

Falling apart at the seams

Along the path of 

unraveling thread

of delayed desires

that pull downwards

enabling the demise

responsible for her descent.
