I Fell Off The Edge Of The World Today - A Sitting Duck's Nature

There are so many words to describe an aching sorrow,

But none that work to detail the chill that overtakes me,

Science gave me solace in nature and nurture in tandem,

Perhaps a change of scenery and a prescription bottle,

May carry me away from all this by tomorrow--

They protest to me as if I don’t know how long I’ve been,

Chained to this earth and to my mother’s frozen heart,

I already feel old and yes that’s partially chemical,

But perhaps I’ve lived a thousand days for one etched in tin.

Snap out of it!

If words could be killed, I’d kill those four with fire,

For so long I tried to be some semblance of normal,

Even in a home fading and falling into a collapsing cave,

Never before had the situation been so dire.

Come with me.

I’m too used to disappointment and life’s dull knife,

So much so that at one point I barely stopped to try,

But those words weren’t empty one’s for pity’s sake,

I took her hand and ran away and left all this strife.

New nature, new nurture.
