Zoning Out

by Michael D Nalley   Feb 13, 2009


What is all the fuss about?
I was just zoning out
Is it a crime or an awful sin?
To know and feel peace within

Zoning out or maybe zoning in
While patience is wearing thin
It's for many a way to cope
Swinging at the end of a rope

Do we fear the twilight zone?
Why should we feel alone?
Pray for me pray for grace
Heaven is such a peaceful place

While I visit cloud nine
Where love flows like wine
Peace within and peace without
Zoning out without a doubt

    You have some nice catchy rhymes in this poem. It's really hard to tell that this poem is about self-harm. I mean, I kind of caught it with the line;
    'While patience is wearing thin'

    I'm not really sure how I feel about this poem. I mean it was really nice, and it had a great flow and very well constructed rhymes, but zoning out seems like a really bizzare topic. I guess that's why it's under misc. huh? Hmm, oh well, good stuff I guess!

    On the end of a rope is a mataphor for being on the edge of fear or despair and was not meant to glorfy self harm of any form
