Mindless

I can barely function,

I can hardly sleep.

I’m flooded by memories-

so hard to defeat.

hot tears haunt me

anger sunk it’s teeth in me

it’s red face of laughter 

plaguing my dreams

 blank slates

pallets of color

but all I drew

was hued in red

unburied past,

burst into flames

held in my hands

I'll let it burn

smoke rising tall

help came fast;

cold refreshing water

ran through my veins

dripping from me 

came the sadness I sung

and from the strands of my hair

came the anger I held.
