I Graffiti My Own Brain – Written March 2023 (Aged 23)

I Graffiti My Own Brain

i exhaust myself
so,
give me back my stupidity
give me back –
self defined reality
just give me something
something,
that takes away the realism
that we are just the sum –
of the experience we have caught
or even,
the answers we have sought
i exhaust myself
i am full of unanswered claims
i graffiti my own brain
i take time to pick out clouds
that i know are full of rain
i am homeward bound
give me back my stupidity
ah, but that is not so easily found




James Garratt – March 2023
