In Limbo

It is this terrifying experience

Knowing I'm delirious

And yet these emotions run amok 

There is nothing to do

But out wait the torrent

So sorry

I really realize that I'm crazy

But I'm too big for my shoes

I'm trying so hard to fit

But I know the stitching is coming loose

A toe is sticking out and given time

Much more might make itself known

I understand just how frustrating it is

I can see it all from outside myself

But I feel very much like a bystander as it all unfolds

There is a hole in this bucket

I'm trying to plug if with my finger

But the water continues to trickle out

Still I am afraid to give up and just let it all go

The bucket is filled with blue paint

Could I look down I would see

It spills out below me, colouring the sky

And if I were aware

I could spread my wings and fly

But instead I am falling flailing

As though in some outlandish dream
