This is a short emotional poem.
                                                            I UNDERSTAND

Don't I understand

The anguish we heap upon ourselves

Running madly

Through the streets

Marginal jump

A leap unto the wind

And we sail the barricade

In leaps and bounds

We attain unto madness





Don't I understand

The momentary joy

That stole in like a thief in the night

Fleetingly assuaging

And the disappearing act

That leaves the vacuum aching

Like it was never there





Don't I understand

The excitement

Hot adrenalin jumping up

Hitting the roof

That sends us off

Spiralling the wave

Of agony that swept us off

And we clutch unto sorrow.
