The Chaotic Mind

I swear I remember this

that and the other thing that flew past my vision

blurring past the system, confused

and on a mission in crowds unlocking wisdom

of life, but it’s seldom

clear.

-

Jumbling and humbling

ideas are just crumbling through cracks

or are they seeping through?

like goo from a monster’s maw

clutching at straws to draw

ferocious natures and gnaw

at life with eyes in awe.

-

Surprised at the outcome

like a song’s humdrum

after starting amazing and then some,

or a tv’s static screen that led some

to pull their hair out, broken and glum

-

cheer up and show the world a smile

if they give an inch then take a mile

of happiness that is.

Serenity and bliss.

Author's note: I wanted to write a poem within 15 minutes while i was taking a short break from work, so I just started with a random thought, aiming only to rhyme the lines. Then decided to inspire the first line of each stanza with the last line of the previous one. A bit of a chaotic poem.
