my mind

thoughts reel inside my head 
messy is the mind
creating things
if you crawl inside my brain
and pull out 
all the twisted strings
tangled lines of hope
and paint splattered ideas
my life through a kaleidoscope

my forgotten thoughts
broken pencils 
inkles pens
tiny almost microscopic things
that sit and wait in the nooks and crannies
of my mind

dusty dreams
shiny things
all tangled up in old song lyrics 
and cookie recipes
rivers made of stardust 
carrying paper boat questions
innocent and curious
but soon forgotten again
are all the things
inside my mind

old boxes 
of memories 
left on shelves 
for my future self to find
melodies of catchy songs
popping up like the bubbles 
I used to love so much 

half child 
half question
all these thoughts running rampant 
throwing streamers
popping bubble gum 
sometimes crying in a corner
I'm not sure why 
I don't know how
but someway I keep functioning 
and living with a smile
making each and every mile
worth my while. 

by thinking up tsunamis 
dreaming to life my hopes 
creating lots and lots of new ideas
and eventually sharing those
all from my messy 
cluttered
mind.
