Bumps

AuburnScribbler

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.
