Thoughts in my head, not always so clear.
Round and round, they mix with fear.
I think, wondering, and oh do I dream.
Then, sometimes, I’m afraid I’ll scream.
The worry it flies, like a bat in the night.
Panic creates doubt, causing me fright.
And yet, other moments…I am serene.
Nothing. And no one, can shake my routine.
Great ideas flutter, as little butterflies.
They dart, dashing, they energize.
My spirit and soul, oh, I can see
Where I am, and who I should be.
My thoughts erratic, covering such range.
Proud insecurity, unbending change.
I’m unsure, and wonder, if the fog in my head,
Is it greatness growing, or maybe, just something to dread.
Oh I hate it when I’m trying to sleep and my head’s like that!

Lovely poem. I think the flow of the words is really good and the quick changes in thoughts and feelings punctuates the emotion.

I have done similar things! So don’t feel alone. I’ve done a few silly things and then cover it up with tadah! That makes it seem planned. OK, maybe not but funny.
I can’t remember who, but when I first started blogging (just last fall), another blogger said that writers tinker with madness. I like those words and think it might be true. I wonder if it is a fine line between brilliance and insanity at times. Hopefully, I can stay on the more acceptable side of the line, lol.
I would love to check out your blog!

We do. My literature teacher in high school said that all creative people are insane somehow. I embrace that concept. 🙂
