There’s a stampede going on in my brain
Of words trying to get out, trying to get in
I feel them physically stacking up on each other
And my head is heavy from the weight
I think silence, isolation maybe sleep is needed
For these words to be assembled into order
That makes some sense
I want to put the close sign up
But its hiding somewhere in my temporal lobe
Trapped between the words pain, anger, demon, depression
My power of speech is rendered impotent
And so the panic sets in
The parietal lobe is under siege
I so want to write HELP ME! MAKE IT GO AWAY!
The brain will not transpose the words through my fingers
So overloaded is my brain ,the words escape through my eyes
You sense this; you’ve seen the panic,
The fear in my eyes
The tears in my eyes
so many times
You hold me and calm me and
My frontal lobe begins to put things in order
And I feel the words just slip away
But one word remains, your name
Prominent,
A name that evokes so many memories of words like
Beauty, perfection, laughter, love, kisses, sex, lust, passion,
Kindness, caring, positivity, but for a few
but for me one word stands out from the rest
whenever I think of you
that word will always, always be LOVE.
(I love you my Ms Joanna P x)
