Awake and Sober

Eyes wide open,
The haze fades clear…
Lights in the darkness
Vibrate and dance.
I laugh, I sing,
I'm in a trance.
Movements in slow motion,
Attention to every pupil
Of every eye that meets.

The rest of the world's hungover.
And if I were drunk,
I could explain to them
My artistic extremity,
My delight in life.
But I am sober,
And therefore I'm condemned.


Author notes

Rough draft... Just getting down thoughts more than focus on hardcore poetry. But it's still decent.

Suggestions appreciated

    Interesting, definitely. It is rough, but with more focus on beat or rhyme it could turn into a well refined poem. Good job.
