Around The Edges

I'm pale or too saturated in colour
The thought of finding balance
Makes me quiver
But I like to quiver -
It's a fine start
So many worlds in which I long
To play a part
I don't like shutting myself off
Yet I must focus on my inner conundrum
The outside world provides plenty of conflict
So I must activate my inner HUM
It doesn't blend in
I can't help but stand out
As ever, in my softness lies my shout
*
I can't see out
And that's okay
Perhaps this purple barrier
Wasn't meant to lift today
Embedded swirls
Neither tease nor inspire
I look for clues in the fabric
To duck, dive dullness and take me higher
Take me all over the place
I'm searching...
and it doesn't get better than that
But where do I end this line
And start another? Is it probable I'll
find it tougher to concede
I've always been in top form?
Even when I most suspected
I should be fashioning their uniform
Superficial revelations
I know I'm supposed to feel okay
Pent-up expectations
How deep do I dare to dig today?
A single text is all I need
Sometimes I am the author
Sometimes I entirely forget me
Get caught up in others' misdeeds
You don't wish me ill, do you?
How could you live with it, if so?
Why do I still fear you?
When we said goodbye so long ago
The edges have become my nucleus
I've trembled, re-assembled, played a part
In your desperate daydream
But I've invented you from the very start
The thought of finding balance
Makes me quiver
But I like to quiver -
It's a fine start
So many worlds in which I long
To play a part
I don't like shutting myself off
Yet I must focus on my inner conundrum

So I must activate my inner HUM
It doesn't blend in
