RATTLES AND RATTLED

Posted Sep 28, 2025 · 31 lines · 2 critiques

Rattles and Rattled

This echo of thoughts etched in my memory
Past, present, future
My mind restless, conflicted
Wallowing in perpetual toture

Fierce in battle within themselves
"Maybe this is the end."
"I'm tired."
"No, you've got to rise up fight again!"

Three of them stood arguing.
My body laid numb on the bed
Eyes wide open, insomnia lurking
Brain fuming, fire burning
Soul yearning for rest.

The external realm
Changes rapidly
From what it used to be
Rattling voices, loud noises
Fingers pointing at me
Praying ever fervently
"Lord please take it away."

It fades into thin air
No longer tossed aside
With a burden to bear
Past and present have escaped
Future stood beside
One question reccurring
"Why?"
I'm left with my arms open wide.
