Commentary:

Poem:

One day I will be WEARING THE INSIDE OUT

Let you know what, how I feel

Wouldn’t that be A GREAT DAY FOR FREEDOM

But now, I’m scared.

Hmmm… maybe I should TAKE IT BACK

Keep it all in again

I don’t know.

Okay enough, I have fared

I’m a mess, I feel dead

But then are the times

You get me COMING BACK TO LIFE

And lovin’ it

Ah, we are POLES APART

You’re way up there.

I am here

You should not go down to me.

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

Shouldn’t you quit with your HIGH HOPES

give up your luxury beliefs in me,

in us?

Maybe you should leave me alone,

MAROONED,

on my own island,

In lowly CLUSTER ONE

But you don’t.

You KEEP TALKING to me

You stay around, nevertheless.

What more can I say? God bless.

I’m ...LOST FOR WORDS.
