Dear self,
In losing you

Days seem blurry
Nights seem scary

Heart grows weary
Eyes turn teary

I lost the merry
I lost the power to write my story

You
I wake up in the morning and I think of you
running through my minds the things we use to Do.
Last time we were together it didn't work for you
I took us for granted like you wasn't my Boo.
I've had a few relationships they can't compare to you
regrets for the moments that I didn't have a Clue.
It's been a long time since I talked to you
maybe we can get together and have a drink or two.

One more chance One last dance, Let me in Please be my friend.
That's all I Ask I know that we will Last....

From the bottom of my heart I tell you this is true.
I will never let us go, I Love YOU!
Brain, brain go away
Don't want to listen one more day
Already lonely and afraid
Feel insecure and full of shame

Brain, brain don't act this way
You're always angry; Filled with hate
You know we're joined; Can't separate
Yourself your punching in the face

Brain, brain what can I say
To make it so you see things straight
Don't know how much more I can take
Of constant warring and debate

Brain, brain it's getting late
This journey's not some endless race
Life's flying by and at this pace
Forget a win; Not gonna place

Brain, brain let's medicate
I'll feed you drugs and we'll sedate
The only way to mitigate
Discrepancies we generate

Brain, brain we sadly waste
This outcome feels like it was fate
But never was there a sealed date
Fulfilling what we self-create

Brain, brain so much we faced
Success so close could almost taste
Instead our tail we always chased
We'll die alone sad and disgraced

I didn't bring you any present

but would never think of being absent
fruit not edible
invasive in Florida
soda apple plant
invasive aquatic grass

Charged neurons firing,
Bombshell ideas explode,
Rifting old beliefs.
Digesting poetry has waged electrical warfare in my mind. Neural plasticity is a gift from God.

Even men will howl tonight
Bewitched by moonlight
