lost in this mental quagmire
feeling it in my bones
thoughts run to escape the myths
created in my head
questions thick with sinew
yet the answers are willowy
should i pray
and light three candles
as the glum begins trickling in
my spirits growl
hearing the hum of birds
wishing for peace
in a world unbalanced
I Write Her 
Unbalanced to the extreme! I love the way you build on the emotion…

Most times I’m inspired to write a 100 word story but sometimes it clicks with poetry. 🙂 Thanks, Jorge!
