eye of the storm 12/21/2008

Beleaguered by thoughts
days past
nights awake
mornings
visual proof
of your life's damage
floating around your head
slowly moving but spinning
out of control
the calm of the eye
provides no stillness
hurling yourself into the wall
the only way out
but motionless you stand
hoping it will pass

we all know it will not
