SLIDESHOW (Disposable Brains)



If I could give something 
Of mine 
Away
I would not hesitate
 To take
My brain 
Out 
Wrap it up 
In soft gauze
Pack it up 
In an old 
Brown box
And in red ink
In block letters
Scribble 
‘FRAGILE’ 
On all faces




If I could ask 
A favour 
From the most high
I’d say this prayer 
With a sigh 

‘Dear Lord
 I need mercy
I need you 
To take away 
My memory 


Take the anger
Take the bitterness


They leave me tired
Stressed




Tonight 
It's just gray thoughts


Tears 
Memories 
That smell brought


A familiar pain 
That seems to seep 
Through me 


I am numb


Take this sense 
As well

This spiteful sense 
Of smell




What my eyes have seen
My hands touched


What my ears have heard
My body felt


Where my feet 
Have led me, 
My knees crouched


Have been elements
Pieces 
Of the jig-saw


Undo them
Undo them ALL
And throw them out




This slideshow
This slideshow keeps running


I can’t find 
The stop button


I’m chilled 
To the bones…
My blood 
Is freezing


Fear 
Keeps me up 
Fighting


Screaming out 
To whoever cares 
To listen


“What you keep doing 
To me 
Is so 
Not 
Fair


I can't keep 
Reliving 
This nightmare


You have to understand 


It’s time
Understand
It's time 
To be set free


So help me

Help me lose my memory

  6. great imagination,unbridled though. i find in your works that the imaginative power is boundless and unrestrained. although this is majorly good,i feel that a new car sans a steering-wheel is worse than an old one.like Dryden, i believe that literature must not only please but instruct as well.no offenses, but i think the best use of magic is using it to better the human society and and its `tributaries` by helping them to smoothen out the kinks in their lives
