Inside my head
By Shirley Healy
The body tremors
I’m inside my head
I think it’s safe here
I have nothing to dread
All is dark
as black as can be
I don’t have to look out
And I don’t want to know
I am free here to shout
At the top of my lungs
No one can hear me
In the corner of my mind
I cry the tears no one can see
It’s too hard to feel things
The struggle is hard
I tried it once
But now I’m barred
I crack easy into pieces
I am as fragile as glass
So I crouch down inside
And wait for the memories to pass
When will it be safe
What’s over is not done
When will I be able to steal a look
At the sun
I want to feel the warmth on my face
But I’m trapped in my head
Hiding under the covers
Glued to my bed
When can the little girl stop convulsing
With memories neither of us wants to see
I want to know when my life will stop repeating
When can I come out of my head and be free

Nice one

I can only imagine how it is to be left to all those things inside your head, for me I have it at night only, but it’s gone when I open my eyes. You have to deal with a lot.

Thank you, yes, I guess I do have to deal with a loss but it is what it is. I have no choice just have to get up and get on with it. 💟
