What Brains Look Like On the Inside

Listen to poem:
I don't like this feeling It's inner turmoil I have stuff to do today so no time But I'd quite appreciate a minute to scream into the abyss Then I'd be hoarse, there's no space for sore throats Plus the drama, oh the drama! That's the thing with inner turmoil it's not really a whole lot of drama at this build stage (I need to rethink the acquisition of abyss scream time to offset the drama, now I'm in a dilemma because I need to be dramatic to not be dramatic... that's the kind of thing that really makes you want to scream... ahh humour. safe humour. I'm not too far gone. But I've been in this bracketed bit of text for ages... It's ok, brackets can be ignored... No one reads poems shaped like a melt down anyway... Soothing... But why did you say melt down... Just close the bracket and don't read over the poem before posting. Great, thanks, will do) Time for a shower.

Once we scream out our thoughts, there will sure be relief. I enjoy 'the method in your madness'. Disjointed thoughts always align together to tell a tale. Your art of poesy is so unique... have deeper depths, sometimes taking us to the abysses of meaning. There is insight and brain power in your dilly dallying!

Thank you Valsa! Not so much these days as I surround myself with quick thinkers and like minds but I used to have people not see how I'd got from a - b with thoughts (not these kinds but any) I'd explain the pin ball style zam zam zam and then sometimes get it but it made me feel weird. There's always logic but it's not always immediately obvious but if I 'feel' a poem I'll see how it sits if I post. Thank you, I like your comment v much
