over and over

how so other thinkers do it
night and day
beat themselves up
for thoughts left unwritten
forgotten as the smoke fades
only traces remain
on an unwashed shirt
can’t shake the urge to sit and write
so many thoughts not knowing
how they got here
what a journey
until I put them here
pushing out to an edge
so sharp make it mine
over and over
feet might fail
and my mind unraveled
in front of you
what is the point
just thoughts its all I have
screaming and can’t fit
into the mold
swing and miss
over and over
already having exposed too much
of who I am
where I haven’t been
brought me here always
anywhere better than
inside the hollow…
