Description
If I start flossing with violin strings so that my words will be musical, will Mother drive me to the asylum? And when she drives me to the asylum, will you come with me? And as I pull out my nails and smear the blood on my eyelids, will you listen to my despair, the rantings of pathetic poetic me?Sometimes I punch myself in the eyes so that I can see the stars on city nights, and use their wishes to bring you here. Sometimes I open my mouth on rainy days to catch Mother Nature's tears. Even if it melts my mask away and taints my virgin tongue, will you love me? Its all I don't have and all I need, and quite frankly, I think it just may drive me mad.
Wrap your arms around me because you can. Hold me tight, I feel no shame so never let me go…
even when I bite and kick and scream, never let me go. Love me, love me when I'm savage.

"If I start flossing with violin strings so that my words will be musical"-- this is a beautiful turn of phrase.

You can write like nobody's business!
Ahem, now that that's out of my system, I will attempt to write a semi-intelligent comment. The imagery is outstanding. You can see and touch everything created in this poem. You do a wonderful job of appearing legitimately mad, yet I easily sympathized with your pain as if I'd felt if first hand.
I'll be doing a literature feature soon (in the next week or so) and I would be honored if you would allow me to include this piece.

This is bold and beautiful. The speaking voice talks of being out of control, yet it is done in a calm, controlled voice that is paradoxical to the images contained within.
A lot of the imagery is original and thought provoking.
Nice piece.
