Welcome

Hello, and welcome to my daily poetry blog. The following poems are improvised based on my day, general reflections, or by just allowing my mind to cruise in neutral without a filter. I have been working on this for something around two years now and have amassed a lot of words. You can either go through them page by page, or check out the "Hall of Better Poems" option in the right column. Please feel free to comment on what you like or dislike, and also subscribe below if you like this sort of thing. Thanks!

(typically I will write down my ideas on paper throughout the day and I may not get in front of a computer to transfer it. So I then dump a few days worth of poems at once.)

intra

My periodic paralyzing paranoia
sprang from the shore of my mishaps.
I wondered why they would say these things about me
speaking softly as if I were a 'bad' person
I had wounded them.
But for my only hope to cope
I changed what I perceived as just.
I have made my choices
and am not proud of the most.
so I am met with shame.
I feel better justified after it passes.
and sing a song of overcoming.
Then the worrying fear sets back in.
I have mistaken my freedom from it.
It reoccurs with each cycle of sleepless dreaming.
If they won't say it I will
I am bad.
I am insane.
I am complete.
