Literature Text

Callous tips from blistered thoughts that
Slur and slant on the page like blue blood
Congealing where consciousness runs into
Streams and nonsensical things.
I capsize the page and in my rage
Scrawl my heart into verse, immortalising
The perverse defiance and yearning that
Tears the very fabric from my soul.
I am less than whole.
Less than whole, but more than nothing,
I feel nothing but the suffering which brings
As much joy as it does misery. Blinded,
But in my periphery I see selfishness and
Hate, which conjugate with love and narcotics.
Everything is episodic and I cease to
Function. Then I cease to be at all.

Excellent!  I very much enjoyed the powerful rhythm of the lines in this, and I especially appreciated this line: "I capsize the page and in my rage."  Well done!  :highfive:
