  Does it move quick

  Or

  Stand still

  I can’t wait to see you

  I take the long way home

  When I get there

  it’s only a house

  * * *

  ELEVEN

  Too much to look at

  Much too much to see

  Noise excitement color

  People

  machines

  Looking for someone

  Anyone

  There's one

  And another

  There goes one

  Watch where you're going

  Smiles are huge

  Time stands still

  Joy

  Laughter

  Stimulation of every sense

  * * *

  TWELVE

  Walking down the hallway

  Long long hallway

  Looking like a million

  But

  Only from a distance

  He use to be someone

  But wait

  He probably still is

  He looks like a TV star

  Just ask and

  He'll tell you so

  He turns his head to hide

  A shamefully arrogant move

  He isn’t a star in my sky

  I feel bad that he’s fallen so far

  As he passes by

  And hides his face with his hand

  I can’t help but hate the man

  So I think I should tell him so.

  Hey TV guy that no one knows

  I might be he only one

  I know who you were and are

  But

  I don’t care

  * * *

  THIRTEEN

  Good day

  Bad day

  Good hour

  Bad hour

  Good minute

  Bad minute

  Now

  It makes sense

  Never before did The light and dark fully merge

  But inside my head

  There is gray and dusk

  And shadows where truth cannot be trusted

  Where life is fragile

  And fought for

  Fought for yes

  Desired

  Not really

  Help me

  Help me

  I want to live

  Help me to see

  I am blind to reason

  * * *

  FOURTEEN

  Clarity of vision

  and thought

  Many converging

  but all crisp

  Too many things to do

  But

  plenty of time to do them

  NEVER felt better

  They will try to take it away

  Why

  I am now who

  everyone wants me to be.

  Energy in motion

  And thought

  Not racing

  Controlled chaos

  I can feel the chaos

  deep

  deep down inside

  It wants to be fed

  Living on my terms

  Conceited

  Arrogant

  Selfish

  Necessary

  I love life

  Other peoples

  Not my own

  talent is not wasted

  Where

  There was none to start

  Endings are

  New beginnings

  New chapters

  Resurrection of spirit

  For

  The ones left behind

  * * *

  FIFTEEN

  I'm here.

  No reason

  But I am

  I guess it's good

  We’ll see how it goes

  Anger

  Rage

  Energy

  Sleepy

  Why?

  Seemed like a good idea

  Not so sure anymore

  Judgments

  Observations

  Thoughts

  Feelings

  So what

  Change

  For the better

  Or

  None at all

  It doesn't matter

  I am what

  Who

  I am

  Never good enough

  Never

  Never

  Never

  What a waste of time

  * * *

  SIXTEEN

  Don't touch me

  My body

  Or

  My mind

  Your touch is not welcome

  I didn't ask

  I gave no hint

  Why

  Do you take such liberty

  Do you care what

  I think

  Do you presume to know

  Does it matter To you

  Or

  To me

  Not really

  I care

  Less

  And

  Less

  All the time

  * * *

  SEVENTEEN

  Living in a birdcage

  Transparent but confining

  Speaking the same language

  But

  Nobody understands

  Living is not living

  if only just alive

  People to talk about

  but no one to talk too

  Alone but not lonely

  upon the crowded stage

  Scrambled mess this prose

  It's the refrain in my mind

  Nothing makes sense

  until

  I make it so.

  Micro this

  Macro that

  Quantum way down

  It's full sized and on top where I struggle

  Weird

  Crazy

  Eccentric

  Individual

  Adjectives of confinement

  In

  A mind without a control

  * * *

  EIGHTEEN

  Pushing through the fear I feel the power. The power of breath and light, Trains and trucks. Thunder and lightning.

  The thunder slap of violence, the lightening strike of love equally able to bring you to your knees.

  I'm at the bottom

  I'm at the top

  With bipolar

  They are both the same

  No rest for the wicked

  I want

  I want

  I want

  Felling really good

  No rest for the wicked

  I want

  I want

  I want

  Never felt worse

  Change

  But

  Change what?

  Chemicals

  Location

  Celestial being

  Wait five minutes

  It will change itself

  It is not me

  It is it

  It is the thing

  I hate it

  I never want to lose it

  Help me

  Help me

  * * *

  NINETEEN

  Where

  Did it come from

  Where

  Will it go

  When

  Will it leave me

  When

  Will it come back

  It feels good

  When it hits

  When it leaves

  When it rises

  When it falls

  I miss

  The ups

  The way ups

  The downs

  The way downs

  The desire for both

  * * *

  TWENTY

  Does it hurt

  That nail in your skin

  Pushed in deep

  Not to the death

  Circle around

  And round

  Holding the weight

  The pressure

  Without
feeling

  So

  We think

  The breath

  Comes in

  Out is poison

  Death

  How

  Can I hold It

  In

  Stabbed

  In the body

  The soul

  Pain is painless

  Life may slip away

  Resurrection

  Is real

  Only moments away

  Flat tires are no big deal.

  * * *

  TWENTY ONE

  Too much to look at

  Much too much to see

  Noise excitement color

  People

  machines

  Looking for someone

  Anyone

  There's one

  And another

  There goes one

  Watch where you're going

  Smiles are huge

  Time stands still

  Joy

  Laughter

  Stimulation of every sense

  * * *

  TWENTY TWO

  The white beach

  lines the black rivers

  Of a crowded downtown

  Fancy ladies

  Looking

  for dates

  Men

  with muscles

  make sure they’re safe

  and

  paid

  * * *

  TWENTY THREE

  Too much to look at

  Much too much to see

  Noise excitement color

  People

  machines

  Looking for someone

  Anyone

  There's one

  And another

  There goes one

  Watch where you're going

  Smiles are huge

  Time stands still

  Joy

  Laughter

  Stimulation of every sense
