Middle Syndromes

By Jadednoir

A frayed synergy lurks.
I bask in that inertia
Only to purge

I’ll have the last of it
I’ll drink fully while I can
This compulsive reaction is holding it back
With the lack of content and restraint
To learn to contain
The rages upon my pages
And I dig a new well:


You are relentless when you are uncontented,
You don’t slither you collide
You might kjust be borderline

Relentless and defenseless but I oppose
When you reap my trees
Don’t go straight for the heart, but right for the knees
Sabotage to ground beneathe me
Slip my seat and steal my spot beneathe me
I can feel your inner sweet
Your relentless feed

That need to be me

You are relentless when you are uncontented
You don’t slither, you collide

But might just be borderline.

    "You don’t slither, you collide" - this is great! also love the opening line a lot... Nice inner rhythm/rhyme in this piece; several syllabic and alliterative clevernesses also that appealed to me... lovely. :)
