My Place
October 14, 2014
Distant conversations
Voices echoing around
I stare off into space.
I feel so alone
As the voices keep on talking
Silent mouth on a silent face.
The words don’t make sense
To my unhearing ears
I stand and begin to pace.
My head is so full
Of a jumble of notes
Making no song in any case.
I can’t clear my head
As I desperately try to sleep
Dozens of flowers in a tiny vase.
I can’t find relief
In this war on myself
About finding my place.
