how to lose patience

By lupus tenebrae

I.

I’m tired
of abstract movie midnight
features, nothing in particular,
and blue Formica countertops
blend in with all the colours.

II.

I’m hurt,
that I’ve spilled out all the popcorn
in hulls of jagged judgment,
and I can’t express my sorrow,
so tomorrow cannot come.

III.

I’m right
and wrongful at the same time,
in arguments of chess games
played by me, myself and eyebeams,
such bitter self-defeating.

My first attempt at list form, with a title alteration. I did get it right with the next two though.

Self-realization makes for great writes because it allows you to dig deeper into your mindset. I actually enjoyed reading this.

I've spent time within these metaphors before and never quite figured out how to break such cycles. Or to grasp whatever that "something more" is that is ever elusive. Interesting format and perspective.
