The Leopard Leaps

I need a fix and it is so strange
This addiction to poetry is a stain
Like a birthmark on my rainbow brain
Can't shake it off for it is engrained

I hear white word and it leopard leaps
Into violet verse singing screaming
It is my teal torture it is my purple peace
Poetry as affliction is a big part of me
