Who Am I

Psychosis has a strangle hold around my neck My wit and looks, I use as my leverage - not A fragment of my mind I can surely do without Bevel down I sometimes slope under the limbo rope I question myself, am I a derelict of hallucinations - for reason There is no resolution to be told Only the sinkhole in which I will lay...will resolve Even that, is probably just an illusion Eight Word Challenge Poetry Contest Sponsored by Kai Michael Neumann 5-30-2019

Oh my!!! I feel as though I have entered the Twilight Zone. Is this Reality or a Fantasy?? Either way, there is no way of getting out. I am there in the moment, through your words. Excellent writing Charlie. ~ Brandy

...I write with a hammer. Got duct tape for my mistakes.

I think "nailed" is too weak a word, Maureen) On the other hand, eight words, all of them, a language at all is probably just an illusion)
