Inside My Head For Contest

Inside my head Is a world of wisdom Words that I need to share with others To prevent them from making the same mistakes I did Decisions affecting their future But do they listen? Of course not, neither did we! Nothing changes a teenagers reason Inside my head Is a maze of wires Linking one memory to another Recollections of the past Contemplating the future Remembering the lost Welcoming the new All stored in a microchip within my brain Inside my head Are emotions running riot Heart- rending pain from past love Waves of agony force salty tears to fall If I had one wish it would be to forget The rejection too much Humiliation and embarrassment All spinning around Grey matter turning black Inside my head A “to do” list a mile long Never ending chores Writing notes to remind Events and duties to attend The house to clean, kids to feed And a husband With prehistoric beliefs Inside my head There are poems and lines Waiting patiently to be transformed with ink Words flowing through the wires But get stuck Things get in the way I wish for more time Space to write my thoughts Inside my head I am a teenager once more Free to do what I please With no fear of consequence To be a know it all Innocence returned A chance to relive And listen to my elders Inside my head Is a world of wisdom 17 September 2015
