Kc's Byrdnest

Keeping flippant thoughts in check Convolutions make a schizophrenic toss blind paranoia into the catatonic tomb yelling whispers caught in mind cacophony Rest the head in a drugged-out succor! Deafen the sententious words – dead - Nuke the firing adversary neuron! No aesthetic can anesthetize the thinking demon expounding beyond the bliss of ignorance Stewards imagined become abominable ghouls! Tangles exorbitant unravel contemplation’s nest… (3/9/2021)

Busy with thoughs all day, design and plan. Then come night time with its unbidden thoughts. Suppressing thoughts are like bobbing corks in an tumultuous ocean for me. Great write, Susan :))

'The thinking demon' - something so sinister in that, very astute on how medication can not stop the obsessive track of our minds~
