What comes to mind!

What comes to mind!

A Poem by alanwgraham
"

A look into the manic mind!

"

What comes to mind!

 

To some

the outpouring of a manic mind

gives fright

but I’m learning fast

that we all can think like this!

Although ..

most would say ‘god help us!’

 

A waterfall of words

spout secrets, hidden

vomiting unbidden

from murky depths

lurking unwitting

erupting, spitting

into the dazzling

air of reality

 

Freudian pish?

is there nothing remotely nice

inside my head?

I hide titbits to tease the psychiatrists

 

how does it work?

all that verbal diarrhoea

all that rhymy nonsense

god knows!

but maybe, just maybe

it’s the biggest answer

to the biggest question!

Confused? I am!

We must concentrate

on matters material

and pertinent

to the damned question

 

Which is?

'What comes to mind!
alanwgraham,
The way I view something like this. It's a process. Every human being is complex, precious and meant for growth. This above description was a reality for many. Why else the phycologists. Counselors, friends which love and listen. I really appreciate honest portrayals like yours. Because where one is now is part of the incredible process we call life!
Bless you!
Kathy
