Cosmic Queers

I want to feel the pain
I want to feel the pleasure
Claws scraping skin
Grating teeth glass shattering
Pain. Dark. Altering.
Fog glossed eyes

I want to fall apart.
I want to drown in the darkness.
Break the branches. Tangled thoughts far too late.

Something I wrote like over a decade ago

#writing #words #poetry #thoughts #spokenword #spokenpoetry

I'm here. I fall. I'm here. I fall. I'm here. I fall.
I tried to stop and think.
I tried to put the images together to build the words.
I couldn't focus on the bigger picture.
I counted the lines.
I watched the spider crawl up the wall.

What was that? Oh you were trying to explain it to me?

I'm here. I fall. I'm here. I fall. I'm here. I fall.

Placid faced. Broken nerves. Anxious bones.
Bruised self-esteem. Cracked emotions.

It went dark.

Do any other poets feel wildly uncomfortable at the thought of performing their work? It seems to me all poets I know are also natural performers but I think I would be an awkward mess if I had to stand up and read them. How does one overcome this?
