Wires crossed
all wrong
bulbs burnt out
blown fuses
burnt smell in
the air
Da#n Heart on
Sleeve again
It still isn't fully
repaired from the
last time I choose
to wear it out there.
Considering going out
on A
-Date=
To the Fair
Me?!
actually going
somewhere
Instead of
locking down
within 4 walls
blowing thick
clouds into the air
Stuck
Pipe Drunk,
eyes like
dinner plates,
Doing the 40 Yard Stare...

This poem captures a sense of inner turmoil and struggle, with vivid imagery and raw emotion. The repetition of "40 Yard Stare" emphasizes a state of detachment or numbness, perhaps suggesting a feeling of being lost or disconnected. The mention of crossed wires, blown fuses, and burnt-out bulbs adds to the imagery of dysfunction and exhaustion. The speaker's reluctance to wear their heart on their sleeve again indicates a past hurt or vulnerability, while the contemplation of going on a date suggests a desire for connection or escape from isolation. Overall, the poem conveys a poignant reflection on inner conflict and the search for meaning or connection amidst personal struggles.
