Chaos – Written Wednesday 2nd July 2008 (Aged 32)

Chaos

i cannot be part of your chaos
the many stations
and so much track
the wants and desires
can break our backs
i cannot merge these things
be the architect,
of a million lost dreams
the main suspect,
in a robbery of feelings
i cannot give you
clearly what you deserve
just more stalled engines
and barrow loads of hurt
i cannot be part of your chaos
and i know it like a storm
a tempest wind,
that drags me in
i must be selfish and think of myself
and it’s at times like this
that i least like myself
but i cannot board the bus
i must steer towards another course
i cannot be part of your chaos
somehow, i must move forwards
