There's a new kid on the block folks ...

Identifying himself as 'Bonk Bipolar' (inspired from the Criptart character) he'll be adding his thoughts and feelings to the DAO Blog section on a regular basis.  He boldly opens up his head and heart and invites us to follow him along some extraordinary paths.

So let me introduce you to his unique style of poetry/rapping with this piece entitled Wrap Rap.

Wrap Rap

Too many ideas to achieve today,

so many thoughts that have run away.

Often I gaze and look into the grey matter

that is the patter

on my milky way.

I wander through days

and act on my gaze,

but nowhere it goes ... as my mind's a slave ...

to my inspirations and drive that go round and round

more often than not, driving me into the ground.

The options I strive for never seem to come near,

yet my thoughts and time get lost without fear.

I sit again at this pad with lettered keys

and a world I'm connected by internet that can often deceive.

My brain goes round and round and round,

yet I'm not moving, not a peep not a sound.

I can open my mind and step onto a cloud,
placing myself in a busy bustling crowd. 

Am I mental?  I ask myself with a chuckle

then I answer  with yes,

and a proud internal stutter!

Sitting wondering why my mind has these ticks,

never understanding what it is that makes me lick ...

my top front lip and why I rotate my neck ... 
‘till it clicks.

Oh no my legs are beginning to twitch,

stuck in this body like a trick,

deep breath in and out

can stop me from feeling shit.

Mind slowing

as I

take

charge

of it.

One again the brain,

my brain has caused these deep tricks.

Wonder why now I can hear conversations?

They’re not real as the people are not here,

but yet clear as day.

I look over my shoulder,

I'm sat all alone by myself and beginning to wonder...

is it real or am I having a moment?!

“Shut up Bonk” you’re starting to mutter,

if you told people what you did they would call you a NUTTER!

So when I'm quiet and

looking lost 

looking puzzled and stuck! 
Don't worry about me as I'm talking to US ... 

US being me myself and I,

and WE don't give a Fu*K!
