“The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that’s making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?” – John Lennon

pow-pow |
Coming in a sudden burst, forcing itself, peace a detrimental casualty
Pressure from expectation, performance under intense scrutiny
Unrelenting, the pressure builds
Unforgiving, the anger burns
Undelivered, the solace capitulates
Closing my eyes makes me a target, can’t hide from the squeeze
speaking in halted phrases, tongue on fire with words that tease
Undeniable, the pain is exquisite
Unbreakable, the vice of lies
Unchanging, the facades of players
Praying for release, the knotted feeling in my stomach grows
a fist pushing its way up my throat, agony in my neck it shows
Unprovoked, the attacks keep coming
Unstable, love’s foundations destroyed
Unanswered, questions form opinions
Where is the breaking point of my brilliant mind and tenuous sanity?
What will happen when it all falls, without conscience, no lucidity?
Unrelenting acquisition of carefully sifted fantasies
