Prairie Fire

Move

Writer's picture: J Robert PowerJ Robert Power



Take me to the highest peak of madness

Take me to the deepest pit of despair


But leave me not in between,

The numbing hell of the middle ground


Not wanting, not trying

Not hating, not bleeding


Not laughing, not crying

Not living, not dying


Nervous energy builds

Motivation wanes


An agonizingly tolerable juxtaposition


Only existing and waiting


To again reach the clouds,

To again fall off the cliff


Twiddling my thumbs in purgatory

Not caring which it will be this time


Wishing to move

Wishing to feel


Heavy shoulders slumping

Tired eyes drooping


Wanting connection,

Talking myself out of making one


Weakly waiting, pathetically present
