Questioning

Something is not right these days

My mind is going insane

Troubles and troubles

Yells and yells

And reasoning to myself

I walk like dead scarecrow dug out of its grave

Holding a light over my head

Before I fall and a break a leg

Author's Note

The last line was originally *Cause I might fall and break a leg* but I changed it to *Before I fall and break a leg*
Just pondering to myself again with all the stress at work and just decided to jot this down. Your comments are appreciated :))

That's bad !!! Try to get the reason why it happens !
Technically speaking the poem is amazing, although it's very short, it is full of pathos,
the sound is intuitive and natural, the metrica almost perfect,
great job =D

I`ve read a lot of Amila`s writing, and I like it. This is good too, with its wry, ironical feeling and a great last line.

The mind can't figure out this world. Too much to think about. I like the comparing yourself to the scarecrow. A interesting ending to a excellent poem.

everyone feels like that once in a while.. I have been going through it just recently! A very well expressed poem. I love the third line from the bottom. Well done!
