PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I can’t get off

Won’t you make it stop

This has gone on for long enough

And I keep returning to the same old places

The only changes here are faces

I’m stuck on this carousel.

And everytime I feel i’m getting close

That  I might of found what I need the most

It comes right back around again

And I’m chasing shadows. Chasing tails.

Am I destined to always be

One step behind, becoming free?

I’d do anything to simply feel

But I’m still controlled by this damn machine.
