Abstraction

Issue/Publication: Posted originally at RedBubble



the mind wanders absently distracted
my hand meanders, its lines abstracted
depicting drifting thoughts and schemes
it recorded all my useless dreams

an eye to never see what’s there
blinded to my own despair
the wall of pain that held me fast
by a hidden, hard, and hurtful past

the knots of fate fell into line
my life of course they did entwine
the rocks of hope forever fall
among the art I tried to scrawl

a doodle done upon the page
symbolizing all my rage
it’s what I do to let it out
to rid myself of all my doubt

mindful of this great distraction
I leave it here in lined abstraction
an illustration of unformed thought
as all my efforts led to naught
