Ignore My Style, Habits, & Routines
I bite on mechanical
pencil led
for a fix
Eat erasers so
deletion defends
the murders
Shake hands
with stone until
breath leakage
Intellect dragons
so the slayer
wears a funeral
Stare at language
shaped and
become skeptic
Drums in mind
to drown out
commotion composers
Inspire to become
weightless and
fade emotions
Wear fire coals
to continue
burning reaction
Close curtains
to light of
interest connection
Turn off network
to perspective
the cut chains
Drink all the colours
of malicious
thought demons
Sink into
silk inferno
for redemption
Hate verbal
vibration from
the faces
Loathed topics
All of the above
Ignore print.

Inspired by my journey to overcome depressing feelings.
I spent time identifying the negative things in my life and these feelings are written in this poem.
It started off as a simple list, and has been transformed into something beautiful and personal.
I hope readers can make their own personal connections to this poem and truly experience the feelings and images described.
