Tips traverse, a forest red,
scratching through the trees,
natural oils, make the bed,
and some rocks like these,
water can’t create the sand,
for stubborn are the bumps,
as they sting; they still stand,
to stay my bloody stumps,
dandruff also acts as snow,
humiliating mess,
a doubt that does shower so,
the blizzard of some stress,
perhaps explorer barber,
could cure with a cut,
but such things that harbour,
ensures for such a rut,
yet, if mind steers the storm,
perhaps some levelling,
douse a drought, that is so worn,
a bright awakening,
where tips do glide, over crown,
scab stones, won’t be seen,
because a choice to not be down,
will make the forest clean.

- Comment from author about the poem: Some bumps in the road, may just be psychosomatic. The result of overthinking, that leads to unnecessary heightened levels of anxiety and depression. Thus, it feels like walking through a dark forest, that you've indirectly made. In my personal experience, such a forest materialises, on the top of my head, as my fingers walk on an auburn forest, that gets me painfully scratching sometimes. Though this poem is about a general clean up of mind, in order to create a happier path, I do realise that it's also a poem about my gammy scalp, of which, sorry, and clearly it needs sorting out, as it is quite sore. The banner picture is reminiscent sometimes; of the state of my scalp, of which, again, I am sorry for mentioning, and also, again, I promise to myself to attend to such an achy problem every day. I realise that some might find this off-putting and even disgusting, because of certain sensitivities, or perhaps the idea of you enjoying a snack; as you read this, comes to mind, but I thought I would be brave, in order to share one of my more embarrassing flaws, in order to prove a point, and that clear point is: no-one is perfect, and no-one should feel alone. I hope that you enjoy, and take something from this poem, sorry again for an "ickyness", and as always, please stay safe everyone.
