Here I am, 1 step away from pencil-brush in hand Vision image haunting Dare I go there again? Tho no DaVinci or Van Gogh Stories told in images My soiled soul , sold to pigment A twisted story told, images explode What was it , that angered others so? What was it, in the story told, that i didn't see Why was it, I let others defeat me so Patience played, the cards were delt Folded once, with a royal flush Fearful lack of faith in self, others said "HUSH" The demons danced across my face, the fateful fall To become a doormat to my own domain Accusations flew, daggers in my back I withdrew Lost and lonley further withdrew But dementia land did construe varied shades of blue A new language I did spew Tag my tangled tangents, connected with a crazy few Till life was renewed, able now, to demand my rightful dues In insanity I was renewed my sanity My tangled tangents weaved a web To safe harbor's edge, to my bets I hedge The path I led, the bets I hedged Now begin to bloom, solitary moon flower blossom Ridiculed, alone I traveled this dirty path To find I'm safely secured, Able now to give a helping hand To those who doubted my path Able now to again depict my mental storms In subtle visions, colored coded I'm Resculpting body image Confidence re-found To sculpt the pigmented story on canvass To tell my twisted story obfuscated From dementia land's tangents Or my own torrid tangled stories Nothing left to loose, but to do it.
