Poems from NMartSwim
Tiny vignettes flash
Confusing dazzling lights
Brain shots hit
Emotions knocked
out of proportion
to true reality
Reactions multiplied by...
Bury the pain
Let it choke you
for the sake of others
Abuse your body
to mask emotion
allow it to denigrate you
Protect everyone else
Fear...
Vivid thought
compounds emotion
Stifling internal flame
Choking and throttling
Die
Die
Die flame
Give up your ethereal ghost
Yield to the...
Rage infinite
Patience finite
Timing inopportune
So many
whys
What ifs
Irrelevant
That is past
Consequences need
to be answered
What
How...
I try
I get nowhere
So I try
I try
I try
Again
Again
Again
Trytrytry
FAILURE
Consistency
Sigh
Can’t stop
Try again
Again
Again
