Quantum Thoughts

When words can’t fill the captions

On the screen, I scream to the Heavens

That I’d like to flee.

If this is all that life has for me,

Then could you please be so kind as to

Alleviate the burdens of walking

This world for me.

I see the grass is green in my neighbor’s yard, not knowing what gruesome scenes

They had to partake in;

Look for God to intervene.

Intrinsic motivation doesn’t exist

When you’re pumping out work seemingly

For no rewards and all risks.

This struggle is ongoing,

Rain seems to pour forever like the

H.A.A.R.P. machine malfunctioned

And by accident made Helene then doubled

Back as a new identity, and many

Can’t flee the scene.

I’m sorry, I’m all out of prayers.

The words aren’t connecting to the clouds

When it’s pouring down.

I’m drowning out to sea,

Would swim to shore but I never learned to

Swim amongst the sharks in boiling waters. Remembering all the things I want to be.

So the more I dream, the more reality

Becomes a nightmare for the American

With no need for a wrestling ring.

I polished this old rusty crown they

Handed me and broke it with a hammer

Because I’ve been branded something

I can’t live up to being.
