i'm gonna keep your heart

needles words are spoken
sweat builds on your forehead
all my thoughts eclipse my heart
internal struggle so deep
can't touch the bottom

feel like losing control
letting it all loose and just go with the flow
immediate stranger to everything they know
i'm so wrong in my shoes
can't admit which color i should wave
in my defeated youth

not so admiring of all this
it hurts to be so hurt
come full circle someday, true
we'll be together and happy someday
the only thing that keeps me coming back.
I tried to be a better me
In the end I looked like the rest of them.

    Can't touch the bottom

    on the edge, a windowsill
    ponders his maker, ponders his will

    "i'm so wrong in my shoes"
    love that line

    i like the urgency in this - it's great poem
    felt this way too many times to count
