Poetry by Chris P.

Jumble

I fold my thoughts into a neat pile
I lay and rest for a little while
By the minute I’m back
My brain’s a wreck
My head’s a jumble
My heart’s in a crumble
I wanna get out
But there’s something about
That thread of hope
Keeping me afloat
So when ever I think
That I’m at the brink
I stop and write
Put that crap aside
It doesn’t make it fine
I guess it takes time
