Scratch The Surface
Looking through the glass in wonder
My feelings foreign, completely disconnected from me
Nervous energy, angry aggression have taken their place.
Scratching the surface of emotion
Skating across them like a frozen pond, doing figure eights
My words not making sense.
Like my feelings seem to be stuck in the muck
Blathering on,
To keep thoughts at bay.
Death, life, eternity
I fail daily at making sense of the world around me
No where to go with this.
I won't break through
I'll scratch the surface
Leave the rest to bleed through.

Even as you sound uninspired you ignite a brilliant fire. The sense of hopelessness you convey is also threaded with the knowledge that this condition is only temporary. Very thoughtful and lovely.
