Can you close your eyes and just...write? Let the blackness clear the way for words. Don't think, don't pause, and don't polish it in the end. Your fingers, a tool for your most convoluted emotions. No form, no rhyme, nor reason...let them flow. It's an odd experience, and I'm curious to see what you guys come up with using this method. Tag me.

Closed Eye Thoughts

Overwhelmed

         which way to turn

slow burn

         up, down, sideways

darkness and pinpricks of light 

         anguish and fright

let me out of this cave

         save me

too much

         can’t hold it all

plate overflowing

         broken, throw away

today

         toss it

high, low, away

         stay away

not here

         not now

not ever

         no room

broom

         clean sweep

night weeps

         light

clearing

         fearing

fog lifting

         uplifting

soft sifting

         take it

make it

         change it

run with it

         faster, faster

found it

         plain sight

Ahhhh!
