Double Life

Double Life

Soaring as high as a kite
Head in the clouds 
Heart racing, feeling giddy
Until the darkness enshrouds
 
Living dually
in darkness and light
Freedom rationed 
Day is sometimes night
 
Happiness snatched away
In an instant
Scorned for indulgences
Always persistent 
 
Sometimes trapped in limbo
Unsure of where to go
Nerves stretched to the limit 
Then kneaded like dough
 
Moments of ecstasy 
Outweighing the agony
Living for the highs
Risking the calumny

I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose. Thanks for checking it out. Christine
