NIGHTMARES FROM AN
UNBLEACHED SOUL
Nothing to see here. Mind your mind. Crowds swirl around you Chatter in your face And you know you're not the only one That blindly follows a crooked line. One day you comprehend Your soul feels misaligned Don't let your mind wander so. A constricted life is your place They always screamed NO! Stay in line You're firmly entrenched in their box. You're living with a conflicted soul Looking for a life beyond control Reaching out for what you want A slap on the hand brings you about. Suffocating walls in your dreams Choking out the best of you You struggle to breakout; it's in vain Punished for not following rules Chipping away at what makes you, you You're mashed into a social stew. Everyday feels the same Inane queries come your way Stomach is always tied in knots Your bones are coming all unglued A wicked headache that just won't quit There's a need to run but you're anchored down. You're living with a conflicted soul Looking for a life beyond control Reaching out for what you want A slap on the hand brings you about. You're dying with a conflicted soul Looking for a life of nonconformity Reaching out for what you need A slap on the face brings you about.

Author’s Note:
A day late, again. Because I write my posts day by day (yes, I don’t rewrite anything to make this easier on me) things can, and do, veer me into anything other than sitting down to write a Lyrical Poem.
Also, this challenge I gave myself is harder than I thought. Lyrical Poetry spurred on by the music in my head and the theme. I will make it, hopefully without any more bumps or snags.
If you are just tuning in, welcome. We’re a tiny bit past the halfway point of the AtoZ Blog Challenge. 26 posts during April, Sundays off for good behavior. We come up with a theme and start on April 1st with the letter “A”. If you care to start from the beginning, click on Awakenings.
There is a wide variety of blogs that you can discover by going to the Master List. I do my darnedest to blog hop every day. Support is a good thing.
I hope you enjoy the theme Nightmares from an Unbleached Soul, which is also today’s “N” spot. Well, technically yesterday’s shouldhavebeen post. I’ll get to “O” a few minutes after posting.
Comments are always welcome.
Goodness, that IS nightmarish!
