Instructions fail me
blot the wound

answers never come

I
never
stay
healed

Look at those weapons
so uninspiring

forget, move on, fight

I
will
not
follow

the beckoning hand
of pretend

for I never understand

until
you
shoot
silence

standstill heart nods
in your direction

speak, speak, speak.

Instant karma's gonna get you.

Quite lovely. I like the arrangement, it adds to the impact of the words.

Your style of writing causes the reader to think along the way. I enjoy the brain workouts! lol

You have such an interesting and unique way of presenting your thoughts!
