This is the first poem I've written in years. |
| My apologies, if I have disillusioned you… But I am not a poet. Spectators regard my plain canvas with suspense Expecting me to become a masterpiece. But I am no longer creative. My brain is bloated Ballooned like a starved belly, A ton of fatigue anchors me down. Before long, I’ll be gaping At my aged reflection. The garbage of wasted years Compiled into my abandoned to-do list. This is all I am made of. I’d like to lose my sanity someday. The confinements of the mind Are too rigid for a poem to bear. But even though my imagination is restrained, Pinned down by all this mental debris I cannot help bowing to my languor. It makes a morbid theme park of Random obscenities in my mind. In fact, I like the mayhem. |
