Impulse



The force, holds up a cloth, and knots
It at the back of my head and
Upon my eyes

Without hesitation, he comes
aboard, and takes the wheel

A crash, my ears whisper to my mind
Am I still alive?

Taking off the veil that was placed
I see Force as he dives
Overboard and away

Unable to leave, I am faced
With fixing the mess he has made

About this poem

An impulsive act always gets one in a mess after blinding one's sense of rationality. Once the mess is created, impulse is nowhere to be found and rationality returns to fix the mess created
