Train Of Thought
April 4, 2016
It was raining droplets of ink
which made little to no sense
sometimes I feel as if I'm too dense
to understand jokes made at my expense
Black then white like a single blink
Hope paves the way for despair
What's to say it was even there?
Now I know better than to care
Lost sight interpreting Sun's scathing wink
Blind before sunset, emotions will reset
Fragile balance soon to be upset
'cause I'm tired of knowing what to expect

My school uniform is white... I had the misfortune of having a black gel pen leak while inside my shirt pocket. Naturally I was doubly punished, firstly for incorrect uniform and secondly by my peers for appearing riddiculous.
In the brief second I closed my eyes... everything was black... and I could ignore my surroundings for a blissful albeit infinitesimal instant ... the next day I did not want to go to school but as Robert Frost said... "Life Goes On."
