Aorbnaml Tohguhts



Abnormal cerebral cortex forces distorted thoughts
that scratch away the patch work of my crossed circuits.
So now I’m lost when I search for an answer,
fore I cross paths with a trance
and interreact without fighting back.

My hippocampus just can’t understand this distance
that exists between me and my senses,
this persistent resistance dispenses intense suffering
that’s overpowering my being
and claiming to be reality
when in fact it’s not,
it's just distorted thoughts
brought forth from the core,
and once more
my mind lies to my eyes,
blinding real life with sights from the night,
disturbed and confused,
then reused in the light
yet deferred to an obscure blur
that I

    From the title to form and word choice, this poem conveys the flustering feeling of having an abnormal thought.
