A Test

Kelly Roberts 1985 (Port Huron, Michigan)

Blank verse
A Test:

Distracted amazed deranged
Forever my mind is a blank
These thoughts are screaming to be known
Yet are so filled with short unlived lives
Wanting something more is a test
A test of trust, a test of being comfortable, a test of knowing what’s real
My words are fumbled, fortunately silence is only a savior
For now emotions are high
And will be filled with long lived lives
For it is no more a test as it is a challenge

About this poem

It’s about a person or persons that just feel distracted so much that they rather be silent than actually speak.
