poetry to me has always been subconscious
I don’t know what I want to say
but I say it anyways
and that removal of logic,
of inhabitation,
is
liberating
in a way
that only a few others
get the chance of
knowing
take this poem,
it was originally titled
“peace of mind”
after a comment
I got on my previous
works
but then I started thinking
about what
“peace
of
mind”
means
and
I
got
this
what
“peace of mind”
is
to me
and this poem is like that too
catharsis,
expulsion,
detox,
all those sickly feelings
or bubbling thoughts
that turn my gut
and twist my mind
boil over onto the page
like the *****
of a long night’s partying
and then I go share it with the world
wondering why they like the ****
of my heart
but
I never cease to continue
my bulimia of this excess
emotion
It never even crosses my
mind
