I'm Not Me When I'm Blue

Stealth and insidious Slithery venomous viper Creeping inside my brain Uninvited and pervading Vile contaminating poison Infecting my fragile sanity Dropping that black canvas Of all consuming darkness When I least expect it Inflating guilt and shame Grounding smothering Clipping wings and victimizing Stealth and insidious AP: 2nd place 2022, Honorable Mention 2021 Submitted on September 30, 2018 for contest REMEMBERING WHAT YOU WANT TO FORGET sponsored by KIM RODRIGUES

Funny how unpleasant memories seem to linger and supress our pleasant ones. Good luck. Tom.

scattered the atom of heart, O' rose, you've come with a cup of hemlock, I'm on the world dock, numbness syrup devours me slowly...!/// nice
