Sensory like Armageddon
Bended nerves and thin expressions
Thrown across this weary canvas
Lent to give a false impression
Spent to keep the censors guessing
Biding time for convalescence
Hidden lines and long confessions
Packed within these casual glances
Locked behind our fragile essence
Well-behaved but faintly desperate

Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem.
You are very welcome! Thank you for reading it!
Great description of our desperate times. … Do you ever feel as if you’re stretched so thin, you may lose yourself and your identity, conforming… I do, sometimes.. . xPenx
Yes. I often feel that I am going crazy from the pressures of a world I don’t quite belong in. But then again, do any of us feel that we truly belong? I do feel stretched very thin lately and I struggle to recognize myself in the mirror. Thank you Pen 🙂
Very delicately expressed!
Thank you unsung poet! 🙂
i think im streched as far as i can go some days but then theres always that little bit more hope i dont snap lol hope you find a little more stretch vampire xxjen
Well, as long as I continue to post, I guess it is a sign I am still stretching! 🙂 thanks Jen. Life can be very “stretching” but it inspires art…bright side? Lol
“Well behaved but faintly desperate” A fabulous description of life in turmoil I think we have all be there from time to time. Great great poem.

Um. This is a perfect poem. The rhymes are unpredictable and phenomenal. I kind of hate you right now.
Um, thank you! So good to see you venturing into my realm tonight. Thanks for the encouragement
I love the tension within the poem! The meter is rythmic but not quite and in being that way is perfect! Wonderful poem!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking time to find this and leave your thoughts 🙂
