When I stopped posting the other day, it was because I needed a break. I still had 5 more I wanted to share on here, and since the other day I have written two more...

So, let me begin with one that was written the day after some stuff happened at a friend's house. Things were said with the thought that I couldn't hear them, and it threw me into a spin of thoughts... This has all passed for the most part, but here's what I wrote about the increase of thoughts and feelings that day... Later!


"Switched Up"

A tight space has me in a jam,
and I can't see the other side
of where I am...

I said I wouldn't second guess,
but a sudden blitz has turned me
into one big mess...

My head is crunching everything,
and I have to
pull it open,
but it's like a can.
-an aluminum cram.
All the pressure.
I must pry these thoughts within.

(Chorus):
The rush is strong,
but so is the
will that does fill
my beating heart.
I have to bring dirt
into perspective,
and clear the surface off.
I have to look again,
and find situation's end.

A tight space has me locked in,
and I'm seeing the empty side
of where I've been...

I said I wouldn't dwell on the past,
but a sudden glitch has switched the screens
to show the images...

My head is crushing everything,
and I have to
let it flatten,
before it cracks
like a plastic trash can.
All the anger.
I must lift hard thoughts within.

(Chorus)

(Interlude, envisioned.)

I must relax and re-align the focus;
sift and seize and rid ferrocious frames,
and let just truth remain...
I must collect myself and hold control with
inner hands- patience, calm, and grace.
I know truth is still in me...

(Chorus)

It's a tight space.
I know I can find the way
to leave it,
and to take the things I need,
to re-establish peace...
