What is distraction?

Mental health at risk. An acrostic poem

Development detriment, determination deep detraction

Irresponsible irritation, irksome immutable image innuendo, invariable inclination

Stepping slowly, shrewd souls’ stripper

Thoughts trapped; tangible tow transposed

Real response realised, reversed, reintroduced

Acoustic abomination, attentive aggravation

Climax cleared, chewed, choked, constantly casting corroded chain

Taste twisted, transgressed, torn to tatters

Identified, incapable, intentional indignation ill-tempered

Oratory omen, olfactory occurrence

Nil nourishment, nonsensical numbness

in spite of everything,

don't do it.

heart and your mind and your mouth

and your gut,
