The World Inside My Head

The world inside my head

Is truly a scary place

Thousands of hungry monsters smiling in my face

Telling me things I never thought I had knew

Stringing all my thoughts along my mind's wall askew


The world inside my head

Is truly a magical place

Where anything could happen, and I could go at my own pace

No-one telling me how to or what life to live

Because in my head, I've no need to breathe, that's ridiculous.


The world inside my head 

Is truly a strange place

Indeed, very strange it is, you should see me at 2am

My mind runs wild, screaming in circles wild like a hen!

And I let it all out, because it is 2am.


The world inside my head

Truly is a wonderful place

Its much better than outside

I draw the curtains on my eyes

And think of something new

Something better than this world that my body is attached to


While my mind truly is quite an interesting place,

Sometimes even I must remember, it is not my only grace.

I've got music playing on replay

Every second of the day

And my mind is never silent, with always something to say


And sometimes, and only sometimes! I let it speak aloud

Like in this very poem, I might one day read in front of a crowd

While my mind is truly quite an amazing place,

It's nothing compared to what I've written down, Oh no!

Words cannot truly describe its state!


The world inside my head 

Will always be mine and mine alone

You're not welcome inside, 

This is strictly an introvert's home.

So my apologies if I forget a birthday or two...

It's just that my mind might be a little too busy for you


But know that I love you, still, just the same!

Its just, every time my mind speaks you call me insane.

And I guess I can understand that,

It's quite an interesting thing

What my mind can come up with 

At only two in the morning.


And while the world inside my head is one I create,

I remember more of it than I do of that grade

The one I got long ago that caused me some despair

But once I realized how little that one grade mattered,

I didn't care

Because I am now writing a poem

About how much I swear; I am not mad!

Hark!; I swear I'm not!


It's just the things that come to me, in the little world inside my mind...

They define who I am

And I should know;

For I am writing this, at 2am.
