Whose Idea Was It Anyway

I have nothing to say I tell myself Inside my brain is empty Swept clean! Nothing being thought Let alone clever Then I sense a tension I know I have walled in Several thoughts But it's so neat in my brain I cannot move any partitions Thrum thrum thrum The thoughts are really not the Containable kind They are wild animals They do not play nice There are no laws about Caging thoughts Just sage advice That can put a sock in it There isn't a key I'll address that little issue When the walls crash in "Good plan" says empty brain I consider getting into name calling But since it's about myself, to myself, regarding myself It's all a bit mexican standoff So I let the matter drop

When thoughts travel through an empty brain, they have complete leeway, then if a disagreement breaks out, between the two of you , its is quite futile because neither you nor you can win. Love it DD, Another priceless Gem

Thank you Wen, doesn't stop the rows from occurring though. I was having a right silent ding dong before pegging out washing. The day before I'd spaced it out and today I put it close together - I had a word with my head as it was suggesting my technique had been rubbish both days. Make your mind up brain! (I need to filter how many of these stories I share haha :/ )

When one's thoughts seem to be a bit scattered, it can be difficult capturing one. A fun read, DD. It appears you caught one:)

Haha I'd forgotten I'd discovered 'dramatic monologue' in the form list. Next time I'm watching swimming and I can't tell which is my child anyway I might get on the case and post a real deal monologue haha

An intriguing dialogue of the brain...its like listening in through those walls. Hope you don't mind another ear tuning in. A good write with just a dusting of humour.
