LOOK AT MY PROFILE. DO IT.


Living off scrap inspiration
And recycled words,
I seek shelter in old poems,
But even their lines
Can’t house my growing story.
So I fashion makeshift stanzas
And piece together
The shambles of my creativity,
Until they too fall apart
And I set off in search
Of a poem I can call home.

It's nicer to think dear, pretty thoughts and keep them in one's heart, like treasures. I don't like to have them laughed at or wondered over.

"scrap inspiration" "recycled words" "shambles of my creativity" I relate so much, awesome descriptions :)
