Confusion

Oh no   what's this?
a dilemma and I'm caught in the middle
Oh no   what's more?
a desirable future awaiting but I'm forbidden
what's this distress 
this mess
this strangeness
I need to make up this mind 
to confess
-
I will tell you two intertwining secrets then
a settled woman is not a settled woman
a stable mind is not a stable mind
-
do not believe me when
when I say I am solid or I am set
when I say I am getting along well
I cannot even dwell 
  

what's this distress
this mess
this strangeness
what happened to my mind
once full of cleverness
now obsessed

A Fear of Change

you are no longer the same
a little more foolish
what is this shame?   who would you blame?
yourself or yesterday's game?
please stay sane

you are no longer the same
a moment you are dreaming 
a moment you are awake
a moment you love the rain
a moment you hate
a moment you are quiet
a moment you are a violin 
screaming pleasure
screaming din
please stay sane

you are no longer the same
oh dear
do not dare commit a sin
for your mind will frown
and you blessings will drown
look at the usual rain    the usual window frame
count your blessings
and please stay sane


*Note to self: do not lose your brain
