Brown Paper Bag

I am drinking letters

From a brown paper bag.

They form in my head

When I begin to go mad

Sentences are made

Without my consent

my world is spinning

dancing at the event

When my sentences slur

mindless paragraphs are born

They slip through my mind

Staying on their own time

Soon my mind becomes dark

blank like a page

I am stuck in a black hole cage

 

I wake up the next day

my head has a fuse

I ask my friends why this so

All the can say is "you were wasted on words"
