a sharpened pencil
the way I like
with nothing to say
so I write my name
over and over
to soothe my compulsion
and wayward
way word
mind
a predator poised
to strike
with no prey
no pray
in sight
insight
incite
Imagine if I weren't medicated….

thank you, everyone, for your compliments. May you find your prey soon and attack with no mercy.
