Deep Underground Poetry (A follow-up)

We may be happy and laughing out loud      
Or just around the corner someone may be crying        
I'm going hand in hand with the procession          
There and back again and again        
The modern world demands it that way        
Words fly through the air like burnt paper        
Like used targets at a turkey shoot in the fall        
Modern addictions and a need for feedback        
The curtain raises and maybe I need this        
because for some reason it makes me feel good        
Maybe it is just for the rush of dopamine        
and is that why I am trying so hard        
The orchestra plays a song slow          
I start to worry again but you cannot be scared        
Maybe I am sharing to much in my notes        
And so I feel I must edit or hide again        
I can only pretend to do everything right        
and hope that you take me in        
Write down the words that I am thinking        
Edit them again and hope they read well        
and pretend to be to be good at it        
Even when I do not deserve it and    
possibly it seems sad like that at a glance        
But I will keep trying anyway

Author's Note
I wear my feelings on my sleeve, maybe this is to raw but I am not good at filtering my thoughts and feelings. For those not from the southern USA, you do not shoot actual turkeys at a turkey shoot. :) (no turkeys were harmed in the writing of this)

A follow-up because I wrote one on DUP a little while back. :)

My most puzzling question is why does time pass so fast when you are on DeepUndergroundPoetry, it seems like I hardly have a chance to read things before an hour has passed. DUP time is not like normal time.
