Home alone

10:20pm thoughts erupted on this  sofa

They held many of my thoughts in them

Tear drops soaked in them

Mom and dad about their business

Flashbacks playing bumper cars in my head

One chasing the next, yet they’re all there all at once

Starting their engineers, powering up to be great

Speeding real slow, going forward yet reversing

 200miles per hour

Stop!

Memories slowed down

Take a deep breath …huh !

Clock’s ticking, mind’s racing, heart’s pondering

20past 11

I swear every time the clock hits 7

It’s like I went to hell but I revisit heaven

Plugged the headphones real quick

It’s just that I’m sick and tired of being sick

Sick of making the same mistake again and again

Where do I go with these feelings?

 Grab a paper and pen

I can’t erase these memories

They’re inked to my page

I can’t think straight mind is caged

 

My soul decided that life had been too much

So it took a vacation without telling me

But there’s a mute voice crying out ‘set me free’
