a speck of dust

in the midst of a sea of people is the loneliest day of my life

invisible as an ant crushed underfoot of the multitude

a sweltering dark mass of cold unfeeling stares and glares

heavily laden is the heart, lightheaded, unsurefooted

why had darkness come in the middle of this high sun, dark day?

because i'm a blind person bouncing off walls

descent to hell

i gnash my teeth trying hard
not to trash my head
trying to make it end
but afraid of making it all end

i'm trapped
trapped in my own circular web
not lured
rather have fallen
in a pit of tar
in a clay jar

i'm running from everything
but there's no escape
i'm free of everything
but can't escape
i'm trapped
i'm trapped

i'm trapped inside my head
