Dark Tower

Carless Lee Wike 1980 (Alabama)

Pindaric Ode
I am in a very dark tower very far away.
I wait patiently for the day that I become a afterthought.
The day I get to choose.
There's nothing left to loose.
Shark take me there today.
It's not far away.
WHEN I AM OVERWHELMED.
I close my eyes and say I am in a very dark tower very far away.
It gets closer everyday.

About this poem

I have social anxiety. This is kind of how that feels.
