Pollock

All of my thoughts swirl,

mixing together,

making a mess of my head. 

 

It's culminates

like a Pollock painting-

splatters everywhere,

beautiful havoc.

 

I need to create art

or my emotions will 

swallow me whole. 

 

And maybe that's my purpose;

perhaps my creations

inspire others. 

 

And that in turn,

motivates me to 

keep writing. 

 

If it helps someone,

then the pain I experience

wasn't meaningless.
