RESTLESS

“Here's to the few who forgive (accept) what you do, and the fewer who don't even care.” Leonard Cohen

here it comes again
it’s becoming more often
the restlessness you feel
is a recurring burden
burn out or boredom?
things are left undone
there are situations
you can’t simply outrun

one thing is for sure
something’s gone wrong
all you have right now
is a chaotic perception
a fracture is expanding
a yearning is going strong
what else can you ever do
if your heart speaks of home

a fragile situation
disrupts your sensibility
your silence is reinforced
by your complacency
you’re losing your voice
words are inadequate
someone has to listen
before it becomes too late
