Steel Edged Razor
Looking into my mind
I find a steel edged razor
Lurking there.
Taking it's time cutting
Into me
Slicing into my psyche.
At times talking to me
With it's straight edge
No messing around
Telling the truth as it is.
Manic lady, who panics
When strangers are around
Feels at home alone
Though at times loneliness abounds.
So I write
The razor cuts me to the quick
"Your wasting your time lady".
When everything is said and done
What have you really become?
Has your life amounted to what you expected?
I take this razor in hand
Say, "There is a greater plan
one I don't understand
that compells me to write".
At times abstract poems
That makes no sense
To anyone but me, a diary
Each day a new day.
A new wave of emotions
This cutting tool
Is my conscience
I will learn to deal with this demon
Put my emotions in check
The deck has been dealt
I'm off to the races and my time is running out.
