Eve Roper Poet Free verse

Brainy Brevity

I do not let it stop my daily affairs.
Frustration and aggravation and moments
of discouragement my concentration fails to flourish.
I've tried hard to take a breath of courage.

The damage done to the brain just idles in silence.
Hopes that it doesn't remain.
A tidal wave of resentments for this infliction are my fate.
The artist within me sometimes ceases to create.

I will not let this infliction reign.
