Apathy (Free verse) by nentwined

Cannot see the trees for the forest of my fears thick gnarled mental roots thrust deep in grey apathy can not is will not is does not is dead self-imposed stasis inside of my head self frightens self in experiences of life experiece false, conjured imagination imagination paining so self seeks the gutter gutterbug lonely -- frightened only by dreams dreams of mosquitos buzzing round the hazy fire ignoring comfort, the hammock, tranquility fear forgetting life's abundant simplicity green caterpillar gnoshing green leaves, innocence the fear of the gut stems only from the hunger when the hunger leaves there's momentous occassion butterfly blossoms and alights on a flower trust in one's own self opens eyes and grants power

Thanks you've helped me shed some bottom grapes. I clenched my cheeks so hard i strangled a few of the buggers. And when i shuddered on the re-read they fell out the bottom of my corduroy trousers and will keep the colony of ants that live in the chimney breast occupied for many days to come. So in a round about way you did entertain me. Pity it all had to start with such anus contracting unpleasentness
