Pureness of mind

mudded by something —

troubled by wonder,

over think thoughts

until the mind’s flooded;

overflowing,

but it’s still going

nowhere,

coming to nothing —

A mind led astray

while butts and roaches

fill the ashtray.

Put a pen to the paper

still the page remains blank.

I write fiction I've been scared to post, and poems I spam everywhere.
