I am Poetry

I scribble
To calm my mind
To keep myself
Try to find myself
Lost in the incomprehensible swirls
Of cursive letters
To my brain, insane, inane
I can't stand the pain
I drain myself
Let my fingers do the walking
To quiet the talking inside myself
Self-defined in definitions
Recognition of divisions within visions
Of myself
Soft but strong
Bouncing back and forth like left to right
Right to wrong
I hum a song
To distract myself
Retract myself
From within to without
Fractions, dissatisfactions, interactions
With myself
I distaste myself
Try to escape myself
Disgust myself
Distrust myself
Discuss this with myself
Blank
A page without ink
My brain with a thought I couldn't think
I blink
To change the picture show outside myself
Beside myself
Can't hide within myself
If I doubt myself
I live without myself
Self-revised through revisions
Decisions to reduce incisions
My mission
To provide myself
The ability to overcome adversity through creativity
I bleed myself
Need myself
To complete myself
Compose myself
I
Am
