My life unfolds around me.
Wildly, chaotically.
I pull at the reins;
it bites the bridle in two.
And I’m in for a crazy ride.
Life’s mane whips
around my mouth,
sweeping away commands
exclamations,
pleas,
in its sandpaper caress.
It bites maliciously
at my fingers, ready to
grind away all possibility of
self-soverignty and
creation.
It stomps forcefully
at my feet,
eliminating progess towards
the pursuit of
success and growth.
The condescending whinnies
muffle my distress,
despair at being
foiled,
coerced into
nonexistence.
And as I ride upon life,
it bucks and
gallops,
the burn of my thighs
complemeting that of my
soul.
It is only a matter of time
before they give out.
