Out naked she lay in the sun
Exposing her boobs and her bum
The sun was too hot
Red raw burn't the lot
Her sun-baking days are now done

My eyes are half closed for I fear to see
what worry and anxiety have made of me.
All day I have been twisted out of shape,
wincing at my disheveled appearance.
Life has taken a toll with its interference.
My mirrored face is a prism, a color spectrum,
frazzled reflections of the paths I've traveled.
It's no wonder I look completely unraveled
and seem to be moving in opposite directions.
I'm an abstract work of art, hastily brushed
with my own hand when I'm feeling rushed.
Blue when sadness tears my world in two,
Cadmium yellow on days when I feel mellow.
When anger tints darkness on my soul, my cheeks
are flushed with shades of pink. It's been weeks
since I've felt bold enough to paint with oils.
Misfortune leaves me feeling like used tin foil
or memories that should be buried in the soil.
I have need to gather all of my frazzled thoughts
and loosen them from the ropes that tether me.
Too many worries have wrinkled my facial parts
and from spying eyes that I despise, I need to be free.

Feverish flowery flippant freakish fantailed floozy who needed grounding
Flimflammed, flashed, flipped and flinched a fabulous frugal foundling
Fortuitous flexible frazzled French flamingos flash-mobbed a fernlike finch
On Friinge of this freakish failed flopped frenzy, I received a friendly pinch.

My Brain is Frazzled
Been on the Razzle
.
Since New Year's Eve
Drunk and Disorderly
Body and Mind
Craving a Retreat a Spa
An erstwhile Detox
Clean undies and socks
Deodorant underarm
But most of all
I need someone to love
Who loves me back
Is that to much to ask ??

poor frazzled mum craves sleep
but prepares babe’s night time bottles
as his tiny clothes tumble dry
she’s exhausted ... meanwhile
her newborn sleeps like a baby
