PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

sometimes I recognize my thoughts not as my own

but as another 's

like a seed in my much too mortified mind being sewn

like good manners being taught by not one but many

mothers

perhaps this assessment of my predicament I have just

now laid aside or out grown

every so often this stumbled upon feeling racks my

spirit with shudders and my good reasoning gets thrown

why to many but a few is this not exactly known

can this page be the only vehicle left to my disposal

in exposing the hard evidence pointing to the otherwise

unknown

if only my steadier feelings I could just catch,

control and clone

and through such bouts of chaos, frustration and

darkness I wouldn't feel unsafe as I pass through

them YET AGAIN, ALONE....................
