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.
OH MY WORD, YES! I can so relate to this!

Yeah, our minds are funny things sometimes, aren’t they? But they’re so incredibly complexly designed by God, it’s not even fathomable!
