Can’t stop the feelings
That come with a rush
Brightly colored memories
That cascade through a hazy brain
In moments that I cannot control,
Nor would I,
Even if I knew how
I need to slow down
Movements from day to day
I have lost my imagination,
My drive, the need to create;
That thing which makes us human
Where does my life go?
So young to be over so soon
I am not in control anymore
I am losing ground to chaos
Everything is spinning
And flying so fast
Nothing is clear
I’ve got to hold on
To something steady in my life
But sadly, there is nothing

humming madly
filling my head
with blood
and sorrow
and dread
the executioner's song."

JML another wonderful description of the way we all feel at times.  There is ALWAYS hope hon, hope in writing, hope in friends, love and family.  Hope the venting by writing this has helped somewhat..  Every day just a little keep reaching for the light and love in your world.. *hugs*  

 There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self...

I can think of a few things...ya want me to list them
this is VERY good, so full of your emotions...you know how I love your desperation...(smile)
"she's been here too few years...to feel this old"   mb20
stalking you still,
your jm

 and you can say baby...
baby can I hold you tonight
maybe if told you the right words...
at the right time,
you'd be mine...
baby can I hold you tonight...

JML..

Your poem speaks many truths...spinning, lost control....nothing....

Stay strong, all will work out in time...

In moments that I cannot control,
Nor would I,
Even if I knew how

Wake the dying,
Don't change what you've said,
Change what you're saying.
