Rage and Anger My Pillow – July 2012

Rage and Anger My Pillow

i listen
but it is different
i lie down
rage and anger my pillow
and i close my eyes
others, their words float by
in my head, i am closing my eyes
and wondering about the cycle of life
why we live and why we die
and some people,
never at all
no one could understand
but other things wash over me
grief is capture
but it pushes back our reality
and the fists
thumped on desks
cannot be seen
but it beats like a lion in your chest
i listen but i am aloof
frustration eats me
and words flow
like a tsunami of thought
and a crest of a wave
i am lost but eagerly sought
