all i can twist is my body
my words can't dance
i am just lost in a bloody
battle against ignorance

the mosquitoes are biting my leg
so i can scratch myself
into an elevated shaft
where i should lay on my raft

narrow is my mind
forcing it to expand
without success
i crawl in my bed

wishing for love
to come along
i go crazy
calling on God

sheesh monique

as usual in your poems I "see" things - not always nice things either, but nothing wrong with that  

easy to pick up the sense of frustration in the first third and final stanzas but the second seemed to go off at a tangent somewhat - but then that's pretty much normal for you ...lol......

interesting as usual monique, and it always amazes me that as a second language you handle english so well    

thanks
