Purify

Slither in and slither out
nightmarish sights blackening my mind so I can't
see else
feel else

Just screams and blood and twisted emotions writhing their way into
my blood
my lungs

I can't breathe from these images projected
imagined
made real
or fake

turn off the media please
this twisted world is slowly choking me

blinded

The beauty is the only thing that can find me

A tree
Fresh air
Beautiful words of meaning
or your smile at me like only you do

Mind, leave me be

I love the ending here, the strong contrast between the first 14 lines and those last 6. It's beautifully written, a testament to the peace in quieting the mind at times. :)
