Poem
Head Talk Head talk, Head talk, please just go away You come in uninvited and chat to me all day. Sometimes I want to listen, but other times do not But you just take no notice, and ignore you I cannot You keep your idle chatter up, distracting I do find You even interrupt my sleep with thoughts that come to mind. Your never-ending conversation can become a bore, But If I stop to have a pause, you always just want more. There are sometimes I listen to a wise word you may speak The good advice I’m searching for, from you at times I seek. And then I smile and think of you with fondness this one time, Cause I can then rely on you, be glad that you are mine But when you get too busy and just rush around my head, My temper flares and starts to rise, ignore what you have said. I know I’ll never stop this talk at times it’s almost quiet But then some days I wonder if, you’ve started up a riot. My thoughts become quite scrambled, no sense at times they make Confusion reigns then in my mind, just what words do I take. So, sorting out the good from bad, it then becomes my quest To find out what you’re really like and put you to the test. Ha Ha you say, the game is on as if you have not heard I’ll challenge you, and then we’ll see, who will have the last word. I know I should not fight with you, my friend you’ll always be As I can never get away, because you’re really me, I wonder then if others have a mind that is not still, That chats away all day long, their brain with Head Talk fill. Perhaps then I am not alone, there might be others too? That I can ask for sound advice, to tell me what to do. I’ve heard that meditation, can calm a busy mind If practiced, daily benefits of stillness I will find. But time is of the essence, and I always run the clock “Slow down” you say, I know I must, these thoughts will try to block. But with you I will always chat, this is a fact of life Yet sometimes when you overtake is when you’ll get in strife. Then I will say “Just stop a while, give me a little time” And thank the Lord that you have found a word to end this rhyme. Christine (c)
