Inside My Head

INSIDE MY HEAD I've grown old with grace with so much stuff in my head that it is overwhelming to remember I've loved, I've cried, I've hated, I've gotten on my knees and prayed, I've done, I've seen, I've heard, I wish I could’ve, should've, and would've done in my past It’s been so long ago all is almost all forgotten Why should I worry about stuff that happened in the past, it’s all redundant? I live in the future and there is nothing I can do about the past So my past events have been placed in a file gathering dust I worry now about my short-term memory Where are my reading glasses? They're on top of my head! I turn around to get my watch; I asked myself what I am looking for? Or I start cooking and something distracts me, I completely forgot that I was cooking So what was the question again? Oh! Yeah! What is inside my head?

I like to rock my head from side to side and listen to all the complete rubbish sloshing about inside. Worries aren't so frightening when they're soggy :) A lovely introspective piece, Eve, and congrats. Jolly well done. Viv x

My dear, Eve, I care only of what is inside your heart and I know, there is only love for everyone! Hilarious poem but true in many cases. God forbid we reach that stage! You made me smile!
