Poem in Progress: The Road (No, not the book)

 Text that's begging to be put into poem form:

 I feel weird again tonight. As though the stars have lost their alignment and the sky is a deep shade of purple turning black. I'm disappearing with the stars into the light of day and in the sunlight the road rash on my heart is clearly visible. "It's taken me so long," it says. "And still the road stretches on." I measure the distance I have gone in the number of barely there yellow lines. And sometimes it rains and I'm not sure why... Yes, sometimes it rains, but there is always sunshine. And rainbows are promises that sleepwalk across my mind. I find courage at the bottom of the cracks in the pavement, peace in the act of steeping forward. And always I try to remember to breathe. Because sometimes life is only about going on. But today I feel like closing the curtains and folding the comforter over my head and dreaming in the opaque darkness. I will dream about the colors of my soul and about the places I will go.


Plan for Poem Structure:


Running lines like a typewriter, ding and move on, ding and move on, etc.
Constantly cycling like the dialing of a rotary telephone 
Group the lines in threes? Have no breaks at all? Cut mid-sentence? Length of lines?


Rough, Rough Draft of Poem:

The stars have lost their alignment
and the sky is a deep shade of purple
turning black.


I'm disappearing into the light of day
and in the sunlight my red road rash
becomes visible.


I measure the distance I have gone
in barely there yellow lines, the road
stretches on.


Sometimes it rains and I am not sure
why... Yes sometimes it rains, but still
there's sunshine.


Rainbows are promises that sleepwalk
across my mind and courage exists in
cracked pavement.


Peace in my steps forward and always
I remember to breathe and go on, just
go on.


Notes: It needs so much work. Poems are sooo annoying. So much time just staring at lines until they fit together in a proper puzzle. Why poems? Why? I am so much better at stories xD But this will happen!
