My head aches as I bounce
From one extreme to the next
Like a pinball in an elaborately decorated table
With the push of a button I ricochet
From victim to perpetrator
From expert to novice
From prude to whore
From lovesick to heartbreaker
From rowdy to quiet
From reckless to responsible
From friend to foe
From less to more
How I long for a piece of string
So I can hang like a pendulum
Swinging from extremes
To settle on a balanced center
Ricochet Traits
July 18, 2008My head aches as I bounce
From one extreme to the next
Like a pinball in an elaborately decorated table
With the push of a button I ricochet
From victim to perpetrator
From expert to novice
From prude to whore
From lovesick to heartbreaker
From rowdy to quiet
From reckless to responsible
From friend to foe
From less to more
How I long for a piece of string
So I can hang like a pendulum
Swinging from extremes
To settle on a balanced center
