Over-Stand

"Scattered"

A little number I did in Charlotte, NC (different poem)

SURROUNDED BY THE CHAOS AND UNABLE TO MOVE

I FEEL LIKE STAGNANT WATER

BUT STILL,

I MUST GO ON.

MY MIND LONGS FOR UNDERSTANDING AND COMPASSION WHILE

MY HEART ACHES FOR TRUST

BUT STILL, I MUST GO ON

WITH THIS WORLD CHANGING AND GROWING ALL AROUND ME

IT SEEMS AS IF I SHOULD BE CHANGING AND GROWING TOO

BUT I CAN'T

I'M AFRAID THAT YOU WILL SEE WHO I REALLY AM

AND NOT BE ABLE TO OVER-STAND THE DEPTHS OF MIND OR

THE DIMENSIONS OF MY THOUGHT

I FEAR THAT MY PASSIONS WILL OVERWHELM YOU

AND YOU WILL FLEE

I WILL BE ALONE, AGAIN

IN THE DARK

WITH NO NORTHERN STAR
