I feel a torrent of water rushing down between cliff walls
I'm drowning under the weight of my own water
I shant survive this deluge,
I must surely die of sadness.

Why should I be like this,
why am I not more evolved?
I made the rules for this game, didn't I?
I'm nothing but a pawn crushed by the weight of the board.

There is no sound more bitter
than the thundering wall of silence.
A brick gives more sound when beat upon,
a turned back is more comforting than none at all.

Feelings of being alienated and voiceless.

This piece is featured in one of my 9 chapbooks, which are available (randomized) in my chapbook packs. These are envelopes stuffed with art cards and a chapbook featuring my dark-night-of-the-soul related poetry (most right here and in my book Lantern). Packets typically have 6 pieces inside, for sale in my etsy shop, see:
