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
