All Fours (Free verse) by Christina
Is it alright to think like this
am I being fair or is it a drummed-up tear?
the cravings are coming and filling me up
this void has to go, wait I say whoa.
Is it right to let you know
or am I just sinking low
I'm afraid, afraid of myself
and the compulsions out to play
they play with my thoughts
and jiggle my mind
where has it gone this ability to see
you've clouded my mind and stumpled my knee
The distractions, the distractions I cause
wait let me out of doors
the pressure, the pressures immense.
This flirtation, a flirtation with self
its making me stumble and stressing the cause
the lights, the tunnel and me on all fours.
