WONDER

Words can be like,

buck shot,

tearing ever savagely at my brain.





Makes one wonder......





Will I be alright???????





Or one day awaken insane???????????





Words can be like,

soft notes from a cello,

soothing the interdepths of my soul.



Makes one wonder......





Will I be alright???????





Or one day become aware I have only grown into an ugle dark troll?????????





Words can be like,

acid,

Burning away at and poisioning forever my very core.



Makes one wonder......





Will I be alright???????





Or one day realize I am only one pebble on the shore???????????





That is why, you see, I have to jot all this down,



I am  afraid I will one day see, that I am only a simple passing thought......



I want to leave something behind,

that will make one stop and think......





If I say just that one wrong word......





Imply something never ment.........





Will I leave this lonley world..........





with no notice or even a mere blink???????

I like this one! A real psycological wonder! This was really an interestingly different poem from what you usually do! Nicely done! Also, a Happy Birthday to you!

Another truth from the pen of Renee! I'm an overanalyzer; I "what if" myself to death every time I have to make a major decision or something major happens in my life. I mean, I wonder about the most insane things, things that have no chance of happening yet I try to analyze what would happen, what the effects would be if this crazy thing did actually occur. Anyway, enough about me. More about this poem! I love the imagery you used here, Renee, especially the buck shot and acid. This isn't your usual kind of piece but you pulled it off with grace and truth and style. I've been convinced for weeks that you can write ANYTHING, and this just backs that belief up.
