Fragments

On By Veera
Fragments Of Thoughts · GL Stock Images

My first fragmented poem:

Wake up from nightmares,
Enter bathroom all sullen,
The shower rains cold water,
Shiver in utter cold,
Your sheer suffering amplified.

Wander aimlessly,
Your senses unconscious,
Unmindful of surroundings,
Eyes bloodshot,mind fatigued
Wishing the pain’d disappear….

Sit alone in class,
Transforming thoughts into poems,
Unmindful of dumb bullies,
Tryin’ to steal my peace,
Teach ’em a lesson, if provoked!

Stare at a laptop,
Hands punching keys at random,
Ears harking horror music,
As weary eyes mewl tears,
The poetic spirit labors.

Dash away outside,
Grab basketball, down buckets,
Joined by hoopers, make merry
Cheer up at long last,
Unleash all energy on court.

Caress the keyboard,
Continuous strokes enhance
The melody of each tune,
As mind waltzes in joy,
Pour your heart out in your music.

At last, the day ends,
One sorrowful yet merry,
A dawn that brought misery
Dusked in happiness,
Sound, steady sleep, seek aplenty.

Fragment poem:
Either: 
a  poem of several  numbered stanzas. Each being complete in itself and having only a passing relationship to each other, if at all
OR
a poem of disjointed images (like listening to conversation in passing, repetitively switching between radio/tv station, random images across a screen, or paintings/photos seen in a gallery)

Rules:
Your poem should NOT conform to any rhyme scheme
Your poem MUST include Fragment(s) somewhere  in the title
