This is Not a Hallucination

~

By Rowan Finley Published 2 years ago • 1 min read

colors spin and grin

feeling the cost of being lost

unsure of the proper heart cure

I hate my fate when I hurt people

the ones I love and care for galore

I wince because I feel intensely for everyone in the room

I take another sip, as I grip the table

crunching chips, heart unzips

I’m so sorry, my head is as a quarry

forgive my gritty impulsivity

I can be better, hopefully you agree

Life-strife is growing up too fast

The test is knowing the right path, you might have guessed
