Poetic bulimia

by Cassandra   Apr 9, 2007


You hear poems on various things
Of suicide and love,
Tear sodden cheek and carved arms,
Of friends and more.
But when have you read a poem on poem?
A thought in a thought?
A dream in a dream?
A show in a show?
Almost never.
So here I go
For individuality.

Sitting back in my chair I search for something,
Something inspirational.
I take in all my surroundings, until I find one glistening object that catches my eye.
With a dramatic speed I take in everything possible until am so full I am overwhelmed.
Every detail is etched into my brain.
The scent, the feeling, the appearance, and the essence of the object.

Inside my head many ideas are screaming to be released,
I puke everything out onto this paper through the keys I touch ever so gently.
Words are unclear but precisely I place them throughout the page.
One thought follows another and another until I can’t stop.
My head is racing and my breath is uneasy; my fingers are unable to keep up with the pace of my racing mind.
Suddenly I stop
And draw back to appreciate the bulimic behavior my mind has just committed.
