November, 2015.

I've been

saddled with a loneliness,

that only clarity controls.

With a subtly of insanity,

where a sane man takes his tolls.

Because someone like a jester,

with no royal, hateful, crown

has pinned me with a series of

unspeakable, lazy, downs.

If someone has ever viewed me,

they might laugh and smirk in my face,

because someone, like that jester,

has controlled me with their fate.

I didn't try to make a duty,

of the things I couldn't do,

when fear was binding me at my wrists,

and telling me that I wasn't there.

But the loneliness came crawling,

and it settled upon my back,

because for some reason that

horrible jester,

deems it funny to throw me

off my track.
