Lulling my head.... (Free verse) by Haleyj
Lulling my headâ¦into my hands
I place myself under yet greater demands
Feeling so trappedâ¦inside my own head
The book is now closing, the storyâs been read
The wind stirs each dream, and sweeps each away
A spiraling motion; I so long them to stay
For all that I holdâ¦in these small hands
Is the hope that someone, somewhere understands
I watch my life movieâ¦Iâm all on my own
With a head filled with ice, and a heart made of stone
The images replay as my strength comes undone
Youâd think Iâd feel something; I only feel numb
And the wind keeps on blowing; I cannot be moved
The whispers are growing; the pain canât be soothed
I feel myself slippingâ¦I feel myself stay
I wake up tomorrow and its back to today.
