In My Head

A thought that cannot be dislodged by q-tips

Is bouncing around my skull

Causing the playful havoc of my mind

I’m a photo of motion at night time

Like a calm sunrise after a hurricane

Like a typhoon after placid seas

This thought makes no sense

And came without warning

But there it is—

Its very reality belying its nature;

It cannot be and yet it is

So where a head (and heart) once seemed empty

Now a constant chaos reigns

And maybe it’s all in my head

A simple infatuation

A made up yarn or thread

But a story (if that’s what it is)

Is so exciting when you’re on the first page

So give me some advice and make it sage

And season it all over this mental soup I’m in

Cause I’m drowning and I forgot to swim

But the thought... it has not

It still does laps

In my head
