DO WE STAND AND WATCH?

DO WE STAND AND WATCH?

At this very moment

Here I stand looking downwards

Not looking up or sideways

These emotions

These feelings

Garbled

Jumbled

Muddled

I do not know what to think

Or believe right now!

Part of me feels guilty

I can and do not want to face this guilt

All in the same breath

Same thought and thoughts

It makes me feel I cannot face you

Guilty, guilty feelings

Shame, shame on me

I see that look on your face

Thoughtful

Pensive

A look of contemplation

Are you feeling and sensing my thoughts?

I so want, need to change this feeling

A world gone mad, insanely mad

It tortures

It torments

It never surrenders

There is no peace, maybe some kind of peace

Is there in the distance

A vision

A glimmer of hope

I hope

But can it be real?

Surreal

It just feels weird

Odd, dreamlike

But it carries hope

So maybe this is not so bizarre

By far

Maybe I should face you

Look at you differently

From before

Should never be judgemental

Hypercritical

Critical

It serves no purpose

Listening to others

Instead of my own feelings that resides

Inside
