This pen.
Free of my hands.
moved only by the gears of my mind.
These gears, laced with teeth of love, life and despair.
these gears move hands, similar to those on a clock.
move me backwards.
back to the pen.
This pen is moved by anger, hate and sorrow.
This gear is stuck. time doesn't stop.
i'm stuck.
brain panic. overload.
lose a gear.
Time is lost.
pen keeps moving.
leave me behind.
go on,
i'm FINE.

I may have to go and agrue with someone now!

great. =]
it's nice to know that these jumbled thoughts in my head that came from nowhere can relate so many people. It's a good thing to know that i'm still here, feet touching the ground...like you guys can relate.

Love it.
I completely know what you mean! I feel the same way sometimes! As though I'm just writing, and sometimes I'm completely amazed in the end result. These thoughts drive us to be what we are. Why not let them flow freely? I love your writing. Keep it up!

LOL...totally understand...my muse is stupor and often I am writing as I wish only to end up where she wants it to be...inspiration with power.
Well said.
