why is it the bridle cannot be felt until it is latched tight
why is it the coming of light brings pain
why am i powerless to stop the unraveling

snap

ignorance is bliss
a sheep in the herd has bliss
a mind shut off has bliss
why did i let mine be turned on

i see the doublespeak
i hear the doublethink
i feel the reins pull tight
please don't pull or it might
don't you pull or it might
please god pull it tighter so it

snap

i see the rope i hold onto fraying
fibers straying, winding, unwinding,
there goes one and one more
with every look and every poke and every word
you drag the knife across my soul
you've got the reins and the bit is set
where do you want me to go
what do you want me to be
the horse knows not the rider's plan

but i am not the horse you want me to be anymore

i do not believe anymore
i do not think that way anymore
i do not wish this life anymore
the rope must hold
it must
it can't

snap

we're down to one thread, you and i
only you don't see it twisting, turning
how long will it hold with all the weight
all the hate
all the pressure
how long can it withstand the knife
why don't you see
why can't i move
please hold on
you must hold on
i'm not ready
yes i am

mr. jynx, you have reached my maximum of respect.  i hold respect for very few, including myself.  your words are heartfelt, and i truely appreciate the fact that you have the balls to post such things, and i enjoyed reading your thoughts.  you deserve much applause.  *clap-clap-clap*.  also, i like your writing style.  feel free to post other works you may be willing to share.  this is where i feel that my 1 post/ month allowance would be best spent. see you all next month.

BF:  My friend, I used to think that, too.  Trust me:  you have a breaking point--it's a black wall whose approach signals the end of life as you know it.  You have it, you just don't see it.  Pray you never do.

peregrin:  thanks for the reply, and the kind words.  I hope you'll understand, however, when I say that I hope not to feel compelled to post in this style too often.  This was a release valve on the pressure cooker - it was a vent of things that are, and a premonition of things to come.  My hope is that I can pry the lid off the cooker before it blows, but if I can't.....I have been a prophet of my own life, and I just hope I can pick up the pieces after hitting that Wall.
