Write

Colors of yellow, blue and red

The changing of a rainbow 

Residual stains on the carpet;

staining....permanent. 

Everything, permanent.

Thinking things will change

Hoping without changing

Standing still yet moving;

Sitting yet sleeping...

When nothing makes sense...

I write.

When I can't feel settled...

I write.

Testing the waters

with backfiring results

Trying to fly

without wings...

Succeeding in life,

Failing at love...

Holding on tight

but losing control...

When nothing makes sense...

I write.

When I can't feel settled...

I write.

Holding water but empty hands

being whole but feeling like half...

When nothing makes sense...

I write.

When I lose control..I...

I hold the pencil...
