Into The Fog
reality is a fragile thing
when the powers that be
choose to use you as their plaything
it can slip through my tightly clenched fists
at any moment
it's like driving through a dense fog
where the lines on the road
are barely visible
this is how I go through life
now is the good times where
I'm riding the manic waves
my voices are friendly
though they can turn black at anytime
biting through my psyche
with vicious and cruel intent
demons pushing in on my being
smothering, tearing and scratching at me
Freddy Mercury is one of the friendly voices
why him I don't know
maybe my love of his music
reality tells me if there is an afterlife
he won't be wasting it speaking to me
though here's the kicker
if I drink enough he's sitting here
telling me of a time before
when we once knew one another
back to the blurred lines on the road
suck it up, take this pill and that
each have a purpose
damn it why don't they work
left feeling I'm going through life
with my panties showing
worse yet completely naked
nothing to cover me from prying eyes
I told a dear friend
about some of my delusions
he said that was unrealistic
I said I know but why not entertain people?
so that's what i'll attempt to do
if nothing else document
my roller coaster ride of an existence
hopefully take you on a journey into the fog
if you care to go with me

I have said and echoed myself time and again, the best poems are introspective self expressions. Art is a creation of the heart and this is no exception! Exceptionally expressed Brenda!!!

What a fantastic metaphor for life. Everyone is naked and driving through the fog with you! I also like the idea of entertaining people. It's a worthy goal and a good thing to do. I personally don't hear the voice of Freddie Mercury- for me its more like Hitler but he's screaming at me in German and I've no clue what the fuck he's on about.....

I love your idea of turning fears and delusions into entertainment. That reduces their power it seems to me. Others can benefit, and their commentary might provide some comfort. The fog's parting Crim. I'm so glad to see you back!

it's a dangerous thrill ride so we keep our seatbelts fastened,
but we have lanterns shining in the fog, Crim...

I have just been on a journey with you into the fog - fog is good, it hides imperfections - I love to dream as usually in my dream I still have both of my legs and i can run - I feel I could also run in your fog :-)
