The Brain is a Traitor

I have been playing around with some more writing lately and trying out other formats than what I typically write for this blog.  Was trying to decide if I wanted to create a new blog to put some of this stuff on but just decided since I already have this blog, I'd just use it.  So here is a poem I wrote the other day.

The Brain is a Traitor

The brain is a traitor,
Don't know what to trust.

Throughout the day the images come,
Fading and glittering like pixie dust

I hear the screech of the banshee call,
Only to realize it is just a band saw

The heart beats faster and faster
Breath comes in small gasps
Quick furtive glances behind me,
Assures that this too shall pass.

No one there, all is well
No one to see, nothing to tell.

The brain is a traitor,
Makes up all this weird stuff.
But on the outside I must keep it together,
Keep on looking strong and tough.

The brain is a traitor, don't know what to trust.
