Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Quirky Brain Waves

The connections are brittle
And don’t work like they used to.
Sparks are a little dimmer
Sometimes don’t work at all.

She has quirks and phobias
She has to live with
Disorientation a familiar state of mind
Emotionally unstable
So easily distracted
Thoughts out of sync
With what comes out of her mouth

Thinking she lives to avoid people
And fight the headaches
She’s slow and suffers from anxiety
At her best when she doesn’t remember
What she can’t remember

Caren Krutsinger December 30, 2018 at 12:08 AM I think it very interesting that "I’m at my best when I don’t remember What I can’t remember" for I feel this is our most relaxed and wisest state. Good luck in the contest, Line. Line Gauthier December 30, 2018 at 7:32 AM Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, Caren.
