Upside down

by Sabine Taylor   May 3, 2005


Words in my mind
Flying, running, slowing down
Jumbling because of a windstorm
With so much intensity
That even letters break out
Of my previously designed sayings
Upside down
My whole world of verbal strength

Toughness, boldness, deliberateness
Nothing compares to that situation
My verbal weapons are silently left
In the corner
Sort of without safeguard anymore
I am trying to say what whirs around
In my sanity
As little words
Making no sense
This powerful eddy pulls the rug
Out from under me
In such a way I am helpless
Without my verbal strength

Making me wish this nightmare
Will soon end
Because I need my only power back
To protect myself from what attacks me
Every day
From right, left, from miles around
Upside down
This world for now
Which normally gives me the strength
Not only to protect myself but also to attack back
To persuade some silly rivals
And couch how you make me feel
But I am sort of helpless
Without my verbal weapons
Silently left in the corner

*Please, comment and vote. That would help me a lot to develop my style in writing. Thank you.

Yours Sabine
