Limbo

There is something amiss
I know not what
The earth keeps spinning as it should
But my mind with a standstill is fraught
I keep staring at the velvety night sky
Dotted with stars
But their lights don't reach the darkness I am trapped within
An incessant limbo with no apparent escape
I wish for a hand to pull me out from this slump
Will anyone lend me one?
The air around me feels laden with embers of all that is not meant to be
Sucking the breath out of my lungs
I see my tomorrows giving way to fluttering ashes
Paralyzed by a helpless feeling, I wish for my present to go up in flames
Maybe then there would be peace
Freedom from the unsettling uncertainty as to where life is headed
Anticipation kills..of a morrow that might not have a morning sun
Of a day where things are no longer fun
I don't want to lie in wait for such a dawn
Oh merciless time release me from the part of playing a pawn
