Confused

Chad Ligon

Free verse
Something in your head
You don’t know what it is
Can’t even feel yourself
Where’s a way out of this
The world all around you
You can feel it closing in
Why this confusion
A spectacle with no clothing
You need a place to send your mind
Before it takes a permanent vacation
Everyone is closing in
I’m falling towards abomination
