A poem about the inner workings of my thought process.

SCATTER BRAIN

 

                            Discordant thoughts

       Tumbling over each other;

     S

         P

            I

              N

                 N

                     I

                        N

                            G, 

 

Dividing, uniting,

            Dissipating into the abyss.

                     Images-

Recurrent; (RECURRENTRECURRENTRECURRENT)

                               Boomerangs.

         Each lap around my consciousness

  It’s become a little bit different-

    A little more detailed.

A little more vague.

T

  R

     I

       P

          P

             I

               N

                  G  over theoretical situations

That only exist in a land of implausibility.

              Choking on words that are smothered by my tongue

Like alphabet soup.

              Spouting nonsensical metaphors

       With the spirit of a witty rebuttal.

Intangible almosts that resonate within me,

        Yet I cannot touch nor describe them nor decipher their meaning.

                                   Emotions undefined;

                  Unversed lyrics.

      A cacophony of ideas

                             Slathered  with asymptote adjectives;

Word salad.

       Disconnected from the physical world

           Where an apple in hand two seconds ago

Has been lost for years,

                             And the hunger I feel is no longer for food…

 

 

 

 

Wait, what was I talking about?

WOAH! First off, this was amazing. I loved the way you used the different fonts to emphasize the title of the poem. The lines were deep and amazing. Very clever vocab usage and all! Good job!

It was the same way for me! I like your style!
"Choking on words that are smothered by my tongue, like alphabet soup." What a line that was, amazingly written. I loved it :)
