Unhinged

Coming unhinged:

Fear: intense; believable. And totally my own –

I scare you? Then hang tight that stone…

Your fragile home can come crashing down,

No one is immune!

Thoughts that all ears can hear….

Of threats, violence, pitiless jeers

Voices; with whom to converse –

Then the question “Why were you talking to yourself?”

Finding, once the pieces again are one,

That some inexplicable things were done.

( They were not odd— just insane)

Although unrecalled; I’m the one they blame.

The fear on the faces I must

Mistrust

Suspicion

Exhaustion

Stealing the control when I had none.
