My Thoughts Are Maimed

My thoughts are maimed Pictured moments untainted and framed Every scene chronologically sequenced To the epic memory, a prison in which I am sentenced Blessed, I forget I am Constantly polluting my body with sickness Enveloping frothing in its thickness Causing illness they are parasites That paralyze the host Eat any self conscious, most Of all planting paranoia and delusion Into the mindset of a girl with no confusion About who she is, who she is to become Where her goals like and her fears are none Where the past has passed And the future awaits knowing one

Nokwanda I like your honesty in this piece - we all admit to maimed hearts but never minds. Not my place to critique but I wondered if you used untainted mistakenly in place of tainted? it just seems like a contract for thoughts to be maimed and then suddenly pure/untainted

My thoughts are maimed, but in the next sentence I am talking about the memories that were perfect and untainted by my maimed thoughts. Your advice is appreciated, dont worry.
