I've recently run across some old poems...
Adding some of them to my online anthology...
~*~
I feel entrapped
Wearied I am
Yet nothing I've done to be weary
Snap these invisible bonds!
Catapult self-righteous demands
to the farthest breadth.
I desire
rest
verve
depth
But all I hear are these jumbling torrents
Venomous words run through my head
"STOP IT!"
I cry to no avail
Emotional masochist that I am
This insanity within...
Do others know it too?
Let me run naked through the woods
Live among the wild beasts
O survival!!!
To live by instinct
I am too cush in my middle-class life
Bound by society's standards
Does it not make brute beasts of us all?
