Spend so much time
With one thought on your mind
It haunts your dream
Adds color to your nightmare

Red lips on a black and white mime
An abstract thought, one of a kind
Your conscience tries to scream
The thought rips and tears

Whether dark, or light as a chime
This though must be left behind
Tear it out at the seam
Throw it down a long flight of stairs

Begin to climb
No longer confined
Create a passionate team
Freedom, an echo in my mind declares

© Mark S., Kannapolis, NC

The author's comments:
I felt trapped, almost tied down from one thought. It took a lot of courage to throw it away and forget.
