I feel so chained;
weighed down;
unfree;
trapped by the handcuffs
of life's fetter;
debris.

I feel so caught;
ensnared;
entwined;
tangled in the web
of life's trash;
clutter.

I feel so claustrophbic;
the walls of life's
oppressive boredom;
unchanging sureness;
the strong,
solid
brick wall
of reality.

My breathing hitches;
my heart skips beats;
my eyelids flutter.

I don't want to lose myself.
Don't want to fall;
endlessly fall into
the monotony;
the realism;
the monochrome
grey.

I don't want to lose
everything
that I hold dear
I don't want to lose
the color; the love;
the "everything-absolutely-wonderfulness"
that the world has to offer.

I don't want to lose this
but I feel myself

                             falling and.....

NO!

I won't lose it all;
I won't lose the color;
I won't lose the love;
I won't lose the life;
I won't lose myself;
I won't be lost!!!

I won't let myself
be chained!
I will look for the beauty
in this dull world.
I will find the color;
love; life. I'll be the
"everyhing-absolutely-wonderfulness."
I will find it in myself...
