-Inside-

Inside
Out
Words
Wonders
Amazing
Blunders
Living
To understand
Dying
This death
While trying
I’m not afraid
Because fear
Concerns me
Least of all
People come
Others go
Leaving me
As I am
As I was
Alone
No home
Just skin
Just bones
Writing
Expressing
A dereliction
Of duties
Failing
While
Succeeding
Expressing
Myself
Thyself
Masses
Of people
Legions
Of no ones
Reading
My undertakings
These underpinnings
Pondering meaning
Gleaming reason
From such verbiage
Absurdity
In a reality
Expressed by me
I don’t
Heck I won’t
Always make sense
But in this world
Making sense
Of anything
Or anyone at all
Has been deemed
Increasingly antiquated
Words
Wonders
Amazing
Blunders
Mistakes
Happening
Repeating
Again and again
Making sense
Of a nonsensical
Battle space
Within myself
Why fight it
I whisper
Under breath
Overtly expressing
A greater difference
Between the war
Within my head
And inside
My chest…
