Funnel

Funnel

A Poem by Todd Kelley

Thoughts spread out through my mind

like an endless sea of particles;

Forcing their way out of my throat
like a funnel.

I can't express what I feel.
I feel too much.

I have no explanations for my feelings.
They are scrambled and unreadable
Like greek to me.

I feel my mind has been shattered,
like the Tower of Babylon.

My words and phrases tumbling 
to the surface with no way of
communication between them

They're a bundle of useless words.
Thoughts and phrases that make 
sense only when I think of them

But not when i speak

I want you to understand me
I need you to understand me

But you don't understand 
my language

How could you?

I am an intellectual
Trapped in brain an idiot

I exist better when I exist alone
Because I have no way to explain

To you how could not exist 
without you.
