Lost In My Head

I wandered lost on this road we call life . . . It all started when I was a small girl, watching in slow motion the accidental death of my sister; that day, I became hidden and lost in my head, confused, dazed, muddled and puzzled, I was lost and astray. I just stopped talking, I was doomed, in my silent existence nothing was sure; my confidence wavered and I questioned God, but my imagination soared . My parents were baffled, they tried to get me help; one day, in my imagined world I thought I could fly, so I climbed out my window and tried, falling, falling. My dad heard me screaming and ran to catch me, I lay befuddled in his arms; "Daddy, what happened?" His tears rained down, yet, I was still lost in my head. I grew up a silent girl, often distant and perplexed, always entangled in a world of fantasy where all was safe; and before you think me totally lost- it was the beginning, and birth of this writer . . . ____________________ September 30, 2017 Poetry/Narrative/Lost In My Head Copyright Protected, ID 17-9458-22-0 All Rights Reserved.
