Here I am outside again
Grudgingly I clutch my pain
Lonely now tears in the rain
And sinking

The locked vaults of my mind explode
Maybe I should hit the road
It’ll help me with this heavy load
I’m thinking

Down the highways in my head
Mostly in a troubled bed
Some times I am seeing red
Not sleeping

The clouds converge then disappear
Then a small sweet voice I hear
In conversations vigil see her
Keeping

I creep up to the tinselled shack
Looking in not looking back
I pile the joy in one big stack
I’m walking

The laughter trickles in your mind
How can people be so kind?
The pain you feel is in your mind
I’m talking

Calm returns …back inside
In baubled conversations hide
Sometimes it’s a gory ride
It’s living

This is really good Jon.

"Sometimes it's a gory ride
It's living."

~Jon,

this was really good! I loved how you ended every verse with you doing something such as living, talking etc. I also loved the entire meaning behind the poem. Go on living Jon, seems to me you have much to give!! Take care of yourself and God Bless.

I've heard the expression "That's life!" too many times...but this is definitely something worth going over! Great symbolism behind the excellent verse and rhyme, Jon!   Great read, even better work!

You are very talented Jon Mewett most enjoyable reading.
I really liked...  "The pain you feel is in your mind
                           I'm talking."
So often so true.
