RELIEF MODE

Folder: 
JOURNAL#3

loud and untrained with a knack to entertain

my stabled insanity I find rather simple to

sustain

it's worth a great deal and of quaint, vital

appeal

to find my own ground

to get my own so called feel

so to prove just how the unsound can almost

appear sound

my energy when unleashed is quite a nemesis

to be pit against

I find myself adhered to the back wall of near

cowardice crowd when events of condescension

commence

I don't receive any great pleasure from witnessing

cadence excised at my expense

this in turn is hard to explain when there is no

real tangible evidence

over crowded thoughts can run one's mind like a  

river dry

in all fairness to one's self you should see writing as a secondary emotional outlet not a source upon

which to merely just get by

my memory with its good diction has been my best friend yet at crucial times it can be the worst spy

I rudely romance the idea of targeting life with my quick and cagey wit

with such an endless fail safe plan

I find I can not call myself off or quit

in this game of schemes I find myself for the job to be the nearest to most fit

and that is about as simple as I can get..........
