My Head Visit


It was time to take another visit through my head today
A visit so very long overdue
Its been a little cloudy and flat of late
Need to check what maintenance there is to do

The door was creaky and stiff to open
It was so dark and smelt musty inside
Flicked the light switch…. but the globe had blown
My phone light now my guide

Oh, what a sight beheld me
A chaotic dishevelled mess
Seems nothing is running efficiently
There are certainly issues here to address

The energy level was running on empty 
Motivation level was on low
Memory section was battered with holes
Visual and hearing department were irregular and slow

However, the heart /love section level was perfect
Full and abundant with a perfect flow
Healthy and happy looking
Shining brightly with a beautiful glow

Feeling completely overwhelmed…. l knew
My head desperately needed a service and tune
I headed toward and walked out that creaky door
Thinking … l will do it soon!

Yep, often we know the problem or what to do, so to speak...getting in gear is not so easy. Gets more difficult with age. Great poem, Deb. Well done!

Deb, your great poem creatively explores the introspective journey of examining one's mental state. The imagery of a neglected space invites us to consider our self-care routines and mental wellness. Wish you well always.

Dear Deb, A wonderfully relatable tour of the inner attic. We all know that feeling of needing a mental tune-up, but I love that you anchored the poem with the reassurance that the heart is still in perfect working order. Blessings, Daniel
