Love letters to my mind

Love Letters to my mind

© Copyright Bailey Gee Poetry

Night skies and butterflies aflutter

In my mind filled with clutter

A sign saying "please recycle"

But I can't read

I can't read the warning signs

Right in front of my face

Butterflies can't recycle

They carry the load on their wings

Wings much stronger than I

Clutter continues to build

Like bricks and mortar

And I forgot how to breathe

The elephant sitting on my chest

Hasn't forgotten how to take my breath away

Hot air and anxiety

Seep through my veins

In a desperate attempt to escape the insane clutter and less than friendly elephant

Recycling has never been so important

Night skies and butterflies aflutter

In my mind

Of endless clutter

Dear mind: SHUT UP!
