Analysis of Crossing Misery's Bridge



Uneasy sleeping vision dreams
uncontrollable shaking head it seems
partial peace of mind while not awake
uprising early morning cold sweat lake
episodes switching, channels that change
curtain rising, these shows are very strange
daytime thinking, off in the red zone
anxiety's address, we've all called home
elements factory, outside chase
half my memories I want to erase
struggling, lost in my ways
slow roasting hours called days
ever the chance of failures, try
pride in success, with no rest of a high
seize the sunrise till it sets
future child's life, full of regrets
nudged into some other activity
letter linking production creative proclivity
on the ledge of a lonely ridge
burning expressions, crossing misery's bridge
