Sarah Muldoon Poet Free verse

I Live In My Head

I'm consumed by thoughts of a better place 
I live there in my head

The world ticks around me 
Full of greed full of dread

I've seen the system for what it is
A trap that chisels at our nature 

I am helpless I am bound 
But I can still put words on paper

Words I hope will change this world 
Or even start a stir

If I even saw the slightest change
I'd step out of my head 
and come back to earth
