Snow globe.

Snow globe.

The snow globe is shaken.

My thoughts, impossible to control
Incomplete
Flying in erratic direction,
Slowed,
They are within my perspective
An aqueous mind lacking lucid connection.

Snow swirling violently.

A conversation like a sonic strobe
Assails an already weakened perception,
From a simple question of sincerity
Comes an emotional response of accusation.

Snow begins to fall.

The walls of selfish reliance caved in
Flooding my mind with suppressed tears,
Emotionally numb and weary
The love found becomes an intense fear.

Snow slows to drift.

Imagination left barren, poisoned by reality
A desire for happiness never quenched,
The quick fix tantalising my hope
Too meagre in it's deliverance.

Snow begins to settle.

Being my own imposter a parasite of praise
From one no longer able to receive,
Looking through the glass a seed of clarity grows
From another's kind choice to believe.

Snow has settled.

Such as I know a fragile mind is a snow globe
For now I steady the hands that hold my thoughts,
Knowing my glass world will once again shake
But through a returning blizzard I see friends await.
