off key notes

 
dearest poet I have thoughts from the edge
I have to reel them in
to stop my world from spinning
 
you see I'm out of control
 
a thrill seeker
who pushes until I can push no more
eventually those walls push back
and they are made of steel
 
a deep current of sadness
is running through my soul
I don't know if it's my own
or of others looking in
 
it could be the universe
 
the star's council is in session
pouring their thoughts into me
lending me focus
for an ever shifting world
 
I can't seem to get a hold  
 
the sands beneath me are pulled out to sea
I wish my pain would be washed out with the tide
leaving behind a new lady
 
but then something would be missing
a unique voice who sings beautifully off key
 
so I take all my self realizations and hide them away
they are my treasures  
gifted by the powers that be
