I can't get comfortable
and my hand is
shaking
with the opportunity to
write
something new.
There's a kid on the news
praying
as he wawaits a detective's
questions
I sit and fiddle with my hair
as I awaite hsi call...
I've got cookies to eat
but no diet soda
and my room is messy again
but somehow
I know
my dreams
tonight
won't be
haunted
by
Furious Muses.
Is it getting bteter>
can you taste the change?
Is it getting worse?
Can you hear the faith?
Do you smile inside
or do you breathe in despair?
can you remember what it feelsl ike to care?
There's a song
stuck
in my head
but my pen is
full
of ink
My hand is filled with
ideas
but my heart can't
think
fast enough to write them.
My mood ring
swirls!
with pent-up emotions
and the other
glitters
with shining possibilities
My fingers are numb
but my Soul
keeps
beating
and the
truth
is all
coming
faster.
Is it getting better?
Did you taste the faith?
Is it getting worse?
Did you hear the change?
Can you see the love
and cherish the memories?
Is your mind free and clear?
Is your soul relieved of its burden?
Do you care enough to feel?
or can you?
I prefer not to talk about it
and I smile when I need to
I cry in the privacy of my cramped closet
and I scream publicly about my anger
As an addict to innocence
to ignorance
I tend to forget to try
but I still manage
to experience life.
Is it getting better?
It doesn't matter now.
Is it getting worse?
I'm still alive.
Can you feel it?
I'm willing to try.
Do you see it?
All too clearly...
