Notes About The Poem

Inside My Head

craving moments of solitude
knowing one day
I’ll hate them with passion
as I’ll fear loneliness
and the falling curtain

striving now for equilibrium
to sit midway on the spectrum
of life’s tightrope
inside my head

I like the tightrope metaphor here. Had to "fav".
