running out of metaphors
only so many ways
to tell the same story
these lines hold together
a soul tearing at the seams
whispered fanciful words
drawn from a mind
with too much to feel
weave curses into flower crowns
wind together bandages
of pretentious metaphoric
use words you barely know the meaning of
so your verses make as much sense as your thoughts
alabaster walls inside of your mind
everything feels the same
anathema truth drips down the plaster
paint over it with excuses in sky shades of blue
to tell the same story

alabaster walls inside of your mind
everything feels the same
anathema truth drips down the plaster

Overflow of different words, which fit together well.
Truly enjoyed this piece.

Half the time I can't even get my thoughts to make sense, let alone my verses. :) Best I can do is true to articulate to some degree how I feel. Beautiful reminder that beautiful words often reflect a tumultuous and torn mind and heart.

we say the same thing
but find unique ways to say it
meta4, & 5, & 6
& the list is practically infinite...
