An Acrostic poem

By Elizabeth ButlerPublished 12 months ago 1 min read

Distinctly remembering I had to complete an important task however it’s completely flown away into the ether.

I’m sure this thing I’m not remembering well was more valuable than the nonsense I’m appearing to be watching.

Suffering from memory loss it seems. Is my brain really failing me so badly?

Time is of the essence, I know this but every time I sit to complete the task at hand all notion is ripped away.

Radical uprisings… something I may recall? This it a possibility that my mind isn’t the one at fault here? Perhaps there is other forces at work here..

Actually remembering parts of my parts breaking into tiny shards of glass.

Clarity is forming. My mind once foggy now clear like the blue skies ahead… it seems as though we were tricked.

Thoughts race up and down like a yo yo. I cannot process what my mind is trying to piece together again.

Intruding inside my mind! Stop clambering around my brain waves. I will believe what I want to believe thank you very much!

Only me and I alone can delve into my own brain. What have you corrupted? You have tangled my thinking and how I cannot live.

No chance of returning back to what you want me to be. I will never be your DISTRACTION.
