It Came To Me

What is the point

I care

Too much

Too deeply

I have a purpose

And then I don’t

I look in the mirror

And all I see

Is a girl who grew up and out of a fantasy

She’s pale and detached

Plump yet broken

She can’t tell her age anymore

She’s just ancient

Half expecting her face to crack and melt into the tile

 

Part of her is alive

and full of rage

Passion

 

The other is trapped in a cage

A dungeon of fear

Pleading for the easy way out

It wants to scuttle into the shadows

dissipate into the forgotten

Constantly these two creatures

are flicked on

and off

On

And off

A light show of indecisive ideas serenading a seizure to creep forth and calm the losing battle

but then...

The power goes out

....

And whats left?
