Hard Enough As It Is

A poem about struggling throughout life and how it impacts the mind.

Intensity travels into the brain

As I slowly escape into the night

Clinging onto old childish ways

When clocks spin without delight

 

My mind seeps between the cracks

Thumping, scratching onto screams

A numbness awakes as I come back

Everything is not what it seems

 

Reality floated from my second sight

Tearing itself beyond the fray

And I wish I could take back tonight

Until the wreck settles in the bay

 

So I will constantly battle the serene

Throwing stones as I buckle under

Damning myself of these tired dreams

It is I wailing within the plunder
