Get Out of My Head

You're in my head and I want you out I can't focus in class with you here I'm trying to learn what life is about But my mind and my heart want you here I clench my fists and close my eyes And open to a piece of my past Blinking rapidly until I focus again I'm glad that day didn't last But you, your pieces didn't stay long enough I pushed that puzzle away I was afraid of a challenge I'd never before seen I wished I could start a new day I got my wish and that's why I'm here But why am I still being haunted? The ghost of all the mistakes we made Is sitting in this classroom, undaunted  You're in my head and I want you out I can't focus on life with you here You have moved on so leave me alone And alone I will conquer this fear

Juli, thank you very much for the good night.. about your poem; I remember them school days when my heart would occupy every single thought in me. Never allowing me to concentrate. I like your ending thought, it is always a good thing to focus on what really is. And moving on for you is a good thought... Hope it all works out for you. always~ pd
