Sky reflected on the ground

A stare of irritation in your eyes
concludes I've taken a wrong turn,
hypocrisy easily recognised in others.

Today I don't feel privileged to have a job
instead I feel condemned to work,
and
sharp eyes only sear,
negativity views my heart as easy to seduce
until I took it to visit the edge,
I let myself go again.

Bio: Even though she's only 22, Marcella has climbed Mount Everest in one stride,
saved a million squirrels from drowning in the Great Furry Almost-Drown of
1983, resolved world hunger pains, hunted God so that he could explain the
meaning of science, controversy, why toilet paper makers don't advertise the
greatest use of the product: mummy costumes, teepee-ing the house, Jack
Kerowhack's manuscript rolls and all before the deep stages of R.E.M.
