Lean Into It Hard
I Lean Into It Hard

I have so much to say and no one to tell it to.
What 'it' is, I do not know.
When you've been in captivity,
unobserved, observed,
you go a little stir crazy, wonder
what do they think,
when the words come.

Constructed in their language,
I lean into it hard,
every complex emotion, feeling
and things I don't understand, hoping
a friend will come forward
to illuminate a dark, caged world.

The longer I prate,
the quicker eyes dull, close and shadows
depart from my den
where I remain a denizen, pacing
and speaking aloud to the wall,
no one, but hoping for one ear
to eavesdrop, maybe

a reaction is all I need.
A face that I can read for a sign,
but my friends who could pantomime
just appear indifferent, or maybe,
I'm blind, can't read at all.
I lean into it hard, a wall
and nothing gives way to my brain.

I'm done for now.

Type ramble. Because I googled the title words and had to write something to satisfying my annoying mind. You think you have it bad? I have to live with this condition. *Sad*
