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
β«
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 π
Thank you!
At my age we call it, brain fog. π
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 π
Brian is so awesome. π 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.
