Falling into Insanity

Work it out

Early one morning as the sun was rising
I found myself sitting behind this coloured girl
on a bus heading down town
when I realised I didn't understand a word she said
or any of those around

So I cut on out of there, oh yeah I cut on out of there

Looking at my plasma screen
of symbols jumbled words and numbers too
I couldn't understand a thing I saw
( you getting this)

So I cut on out of there. oh yeah I cut right out of there

A white collar, with neon tie and face so red
spoke to me in angry tones
but I couldn't understand a word he said
( you with me now)

So I cut on out of there, oh yeah cut right out of there

Swarming like fleas on an underground
fat bellies with vacant eyes
all those children falling down
I couldn't understand a single thing

So I ran right out of there

Now I cant understand one word that comes from you
why dont you understand?

the world around us can be very confusing. love the write.

[Ladysue]

Oh yes there are times when one can seem bewildered...you have captured this so very well...I like the use of repetition, it makes an impact...great writing...

[Sheila Kline]

There are certainly those times when all seems to be confused, insane and we seem perplexed that others do not understand us as you have expressed in your write.
I like the way you follow the, "why don't I/you understand" concept through the poem!

[Lindsey]

wow this is a very good and intaresting read.

[Poetic Beauty]

This poem reminds me of Alzheimer's. It is a rough disease to get and in my opinion this poem describes what it would be like to have it.

[luciddreamer]

I think I understand this....well written and makes me think about some times in my own life....
