No, I insist,
I really do.
Take these words and my hands,
take these clothes from my back,
take these thoughts from my head,
take the stories I can’t work out how to tell
the sentences that don’t string together well
that end up dropping letters
in the oddest of places.
The syllable end up confused,
verbs, adjectives, nouns
they have started to interbreed,
there is now no telling the difference
between this and that!
Its all become the same and even the comma
has gone on strike.
Fed up with my inability to decide
when exactly I need a breath
and the blue faced frustration of loosing parts
of conversations
due to suffocation.
I have too many beginnings and middles
but no end.
I just go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and…
BREATHE! For heaven’s sake breathe!
Do you see this?
Do you see why I have to insist
that you take someone of these loose threads
dangling from my grey matter.
Perhaps you can do something with them
that I simply couldn’t manage.
Daily Post: Insist
I’ve not been writing much recently so I’m trying to get back into it. I’d love to hear your thoughts so if you’ve got a spare moment please take the time to say hi in the comments below. If you’re a poet yourself then let me know and I’ll be sure to pop by and check out your work.

Great to get that email alert that you had posted something again.
I sympathise/empathise with the ‘not writing much recently’.
My excuse has been ‘real life’, whatever that may be.
I hope you succeed in getting back into it, you’ve got a talent, it would be a shame not to use it!
Love the poem.
Wow, people actually get those emails and don’t delete them? Thanks for following it. I’m going to try and post some more poetry and perhaps work on some of the stories that I started.
I know what you mean. Sometimes writing feels like this for me too, but then everything becomes tolerable…eventually. I’m glad you’ve started posting your writing again! I’ve recently taken the leap and started posting some of my flash fiction and poetry on my blog. Stop by sometime?
I’ll pop by now, thanks for letting me know.
