overstepped

i overstep
a flaw in my character
my illness
my depth of nonsense
in a cruel impassionate world
so insecure is our
leadership
a rousing roasted stew
makes us feel blue
a catch 22
insecurity
sink from the surface
of the sea
like a skipping stone
finds its depth
like a part of me
to play a role
captive of lonely
in night alone
forbidden planet
where people
come and go
boisterous quiet
screaming serenity
looking for empathy
shocking a smock
of memory
fade to black.
