John Bernard Poet Free verse

All Stirred Up

I think I’ve snapped
My mind is fried
I’m feeling trapped
It’s why I cried

What would you say
If you were me
Would you run away
Or come and see

I’d fix my mind
If I could do it
Should I unwind
Or just say screw it

All thoughts are gone
My brain seems empty
I am so withdrawn
That I feel nasty

All stirred up
Like some big soup
I’m like a pup
Whose big ears droop

I’ve lost my marbles
From where they were
All thought just garbles
No way to be sure

I am lost
My path is broken
At what cost
Hear what I’ve spoken

Here in my room
That is so padded
I hear a boom
From someone added

In my new home
They keep me happy
I always roam
And don’t feel crappy

Hopped up on drugs
To keep me sane
I give out hugs
Out in the rain

I cannot fix
What is not wrong
I’m in the mix
Or in the throng
