Pick A Line And Like A Hooked Fish Run With It Poetry Contest

I can't believe I thought that Gift wrapped my own brain For sentimental reasons And to avoid going insane Place thoughts in a letter Mailed them to a friend They sort out the odd bits Say I've nothing to defend Craft them into beauty For an artist I've become Non path taking thinking More together than undone Now I've taken it too far Think convoluted and ta-da-ry I'm quite above my station Rebranded as erm, yeah bourgeois I can't believe I thought that It was daring and quite bold But freedom of expression Untightens grip of duties hold I can't believe I thought that! Am I berating myself again?! Hey girl that's not cool (It's self inflicted pain) I can't believe I thought that! What a broken record I am Didn't I sort this out last week? I'm running my own scam I can't believe I thought that! It's the no-merry go round Forget prizes for originality I'll just keep myself down I can't believe I thought that! I'm going to give myself a break For I can be really quite good fun If I give myself a shake I'll do some blue sky thinking Embrace extraneous thoughts They race but it'll keep me fit It's surely exercise of sorts I'm ending here, I've bored myself Didn't get a gotcha line Maybe it's up there somewhere But busy brains just don't refine...
