Nothing discourages. Everything gets counter-intuitive circumspect in introspect.

Words For Your Cages
The following proceeded a string of poems, as perspective gained but lost as ADHD/OCD ramble on…

The Poetry Way

I’ll always write poetry.
I’ll always be alone.
And I’ll be a bit Emily,
no reason for a phone.

Undisturbed, life hums
with nothing but me,
momentary photo albums,
of potential places I might see.

If life is non-linear
it’s not up to me to say.
What goes in one ear
goes out the other, next day.

I write because I’m a fool —
but really just a big kid,
discovering secrets yet cool,
revisit haunts where I’ve hid.

I have anecdotes in rhyme.
I really must have bumped my head —
repetition time after time
all the stories already said.

But a puzzle, life like this
enters the parental perspective,
understanding their ignorant bliss.
Mystery is life, how best to live.

Discouragement given unto me —
no passion or dream allow —
but be safe, live practically,
stand behind an implement plow.

So, ignorant, like vowed poverty,
I’ve lived dreams in words
no other visionary will see.
So, to cages my words for your birds.

The prettiest things I’ll hear
utter in streams from my mouth.
Odes here will only cull my ear.
Seasonable words go places south.

I lied above, consequentially, because during retrieval for the above space placeholder, this poem was born. But it lands on the mark in regards to succession.

If you want to see how minds work differently from mine. Even I didn’t know.
A great definition for what’s the norm.

Maligned, ostracized, swimming amid the black face pools.
I’m prettier — *Laugh*

He who is and isn’t, & yet…my inner Bond. Brian, to be precise. Not shaken or stirred.
Facial and manicure in 15 minutes. Wink for the women.

I write for my entertainment. Response not expected.
I’ve seen monsters made by their creators and then torn down.
Usually, the prima donna athlete. I know how the ego driven gets better results.
