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’
