i sometimes, always notice
tiny eyes behind my eyes
that feed visions into my mouth
and tiny ears inside my ears
that move my fingers as i write

these aren’t mine; they’re plagiarised
words crawl into my mind
and onto my lips or through my fingertips
i rearrange punctuation and sign my name

i’m only a little insane

    I think the first stanza would be stronger without the second. cool concept.

    interesting

    very different lol, but i actually enjoyed this piece thuroughly. it really makes you think in a whole new perspective to try to understand you as an author and what you are trying to say. i think its great though. is your other work a similar style to this? id very much like to read more like this.

    If one thing denotes insanity is that first line right off the bat. I think this a very clever poem and one I very much liked reading a few times over. For some reason it brought a smile to my face although I have no idea as to why... maybe I am a little bit inclined to madness myself
