Mindmaggots

By Tear of Prometheus

I hear them feasting
Or do I feel it?
I feed them beasts
Or do I eat?

I might starve them
If I cease thinking
Or should I tease ´em
With my thoughts blinking?

What will I be?
Will they inspire me?
If I cut them short
On their favorite food...

Might not be a good idea
For they are me I fear
Wild thoughts untamed
Born by my brain deranged

They are insanely howling
When my stomach´s growling
I feel them in upper and downer parts
There´s maggots in my empty innards

    I think when we put our afflictions into poetry form, or any form of art, we transform them into something approachable and therapeutic.Nature has a certain grotesque beauty about it.

    Very interesting write, I'm still processing it all but it has struck me as very well written. I am enjoying so far... let me toy with it a bit longer.
