LET me TELL
YOU ThAT     tHIS IS ALL
WRONg.    EVeRYTHING IS DIFFERENT
FROm WHAT IT should  HAVE been.   NOTHING
IS MUCH MORE   Than MEAR WORDS PAINTED ON GROUND
EARTH, WITH THE  PRESENCE OF HUMAN HANDS. I’m not so sure just were we a re going. I have no clue just were we    have been. Art is confusing to me, it’s been so    distorted IN Little Purple, pink PILLS that killed
  the MINDS of   those that eat them. I SCREAM with indifference as people
don’t seem to notice.  I’m not at all just
what they had never
       thought I would be. I’M SURE
YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND AT ALL WHAT
I AM SAYING, hell     I don’t often know just
what will come out.
Just letting it flow
UNDERSTANDING IS MISUNDERSTOOD.
Love me or leave me, but I'm never
what you thought. It all   looks so different when
you rip away
the eyes.  Let me tell you that
this is all................
"Lord help us all."

Wow... very creative. I esp. love:

NOTHING IS MUCH MORE   Than MEAR WORDS PAINTED ON GROUND

although the lack of formatting here doesn't do it justice. Great insight.

Nice to meet you!

P.S. Just a funny thought - the antidepressants I take (welbutrin) are purple... you probably weren't thinking of that but sometimes I wonder if they kill my mind. Some people think that, I don't, but it's certainly something to think about.

P.P.S. Another thought, and this has nothing to do with the poem, so forgive me. The writing on the purple pills forms a smiley face. Ironic, huh?

7- thanks for your comments. I'm glad that you enjoyed. I am aware that the lack of formating is a bit off-setting but that is the point. I was trying to show discomfort, and unorganized confustion.
