i’m stranded
thoughts strangled
by emotion
i must-have slept on my brain funny*
’cause I’ve lost the ability to word
and
it is pins and needle painful
∫
my body has been laughing at me
for years
but
I’ve always been able to count on my mind
but somehow that seems lost in time
as records play
on repeat
~Melanie Thomason
* I unashamedly admit that I stole the line “i must-have slept on my brain funny” from my very silly husband
Well stolen! Wonderful line and great poem 🙂
Thank you!
At my age we call it, brain fog. 😉
Great poem. I’d love to memorize it, but fog brain is very real. I don’t think you’re there yet, I think you just slept funny.
😉
Thanks, glad you like it! And I can attest brain fog is not dependent on age 🙂
Brian is so awesome. 🙂 This is another wonderful poem and I think most people can relate to in many ways. “thoughts strangled by emotion,” “as records play on repeat.” important lines and reminders to pull ourselves out of those places. I love this. it’s wonderful.
Thank you so much, Gigi. I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
I did:) You’re fabulous.
