Poem – Dear Brain

Welcome back everyone! I hope you’re all having a fantastic July so far!

I’m back this week with another poem. This one is a bit more light-hearted than some of my previous ones. Let me know if you’ve ever experienced something like what it is about… 😉

Dear Brain,

Please shut up.

I’m trying

to sleep

and how can I?

when you

are constantly

talking

at me.

No

I don’t need

to think

about

all the times

I’ve said

something stupid.

No

I don’t need

to ponder

the meaning of life,

and whether

it would really be possible

to put man

on Mars.

No

I don’t need

to decide if

it’s worth inviting

that girl I barely know

to come to my party.

or even decide

what kind of cake

I should have

at said party.

No

I don’t need

to think

about

all the school work

I need to do tomorrow.

And how

I really

really

must

be productive.

No

I don’t need

one hundred and two

story and poem ideas

flying around my brain

at fifty miles per hour.

And no

I certainly don’t need

the imaginations

of giant mice

living under my bed

and spiders

crawling

into my mouth

when I finally

fall asleep.

No

I don’t need

any of those things

I just need sleep.

So Brain

please shut up.

I’m trying

to sleep.
