I’ve been thinking today, all day, consumed. My country at the brink of war, my mind lost in its own brand of medicine meets insanity. I can only prey that with age brings calm, though every day seams to prove my prayers wrong. To fight is in my nature but while justice seams a worthy cause, life has proven to be to great an opponent. I accept myself with hesitation, for am I true or just an actor playing the role of a brilliant fool. I dance with myself hoping for inspiration, while couples twirl around me tripping on their drunken happiness. Can it possibly be this dark or do I close my eyes when joy appears. With warmth comes comfort comes satisfaction comes complacency comes stagnant reality dripping from every pour, seeping from my eyes like tears from a corps.
