A short free verse poem


Acoustic Cloud

I said I had a random idea in my status, so here is what I put together pretty quick. Posted it on dA and thought I'd share it with you.

 

A day like today:

 

Words are choked as they try to escape my mind

A day of silence, a day of nothing but restless thoughts

In a world where dreams die, hapiness is hard to find

 

I snap to reality; the high shrill of a bell pulls me into the room

A day of clamber, a day of trudging through a rut

My body keeps in this path, never straying, never falling away

 

Some find their day coming to an end; that is only for those that find rest

A day of unease, a day that has no pauses in its wake

I am helpless against these waves of time

 

Setting down my load, aches begin to race across my back

A day of pain, a day of anxiety to press it further

Some would call me a mess, I prefer just being me

 

My head tumbles unto my pillow as sleep overcomes me

A day of light, a day that is now night

Thoughts repeat as I drif into a world of fabrication

 

A tremor hits my body, a nightmare of my memories

A night of fears, a night filled with unrest

These memories are vivid, like the days of their occurance

 

Morning begins; sleep has not entered my soul

A day of hurt, a day that pushed onward

Keys are always hard to find, always seeming to move

 

The metal is idle until met with life by my instruction

A day of choices, a day that is like any other

The road I follow is long and lonesome

 

My mind slips once again into thought; my dreams are still fresh

A day of wandering, a day to be distracted

Eyes wander and tires bend; coming to at the last moment

 

A tree stops the motion, the motion I put into its path

A day of harm, a day of moments to regret

I see the car, the grass is soft under my touch

 

The road is still as my mind turns into haze

a day of nothing, a day of nothing

Nobody comes down this road... and they shouldn't

 

Not on a day like today
