Chaos

Succumbed by all the little things,
my heart fills up and breaks to release,
it explodes with love and shatters with sadness,
but over and over again —I feel the madness.
The frequency seems to overload
and each time it makes the world implode. I see it at home, at work and outside,
I see it with family, with friends and world wide.
The anxiety the love then the darkness impales us
and it never seems to give us a chance to evade it.
As soon as there’s a breath of fresh air, we turn around and it’s already there.
