PlaygroundA Poem by Kimberly Sanchez
Everyday i visit this park
It's so lonely with only just my thoughts and me Everyday with all the little things i see It travels through the tunnel of my pupil , being the first obstacle i usually go through and into my head But in this case , it's a park as you read It goes up the stairs to the tallest part of the Playground It spins when its there round and round This thought ...it's everywhere Like a kid who's never been there It bounces and moves, it hurts my head But i champ it out usually until im in bed It slides down the long curly slide Then it runs behind it like there's something to hide These thoughts are crazy they get out of control Runs to the other side climbs on the pole Gets on top again goes through the monkey bar It's really weak so it doesn't get far By this time the real me is drained With all these thoughts that it seems that it took my energy and gained I'm feeling weak i want it to quit playing But these thoughts do what they want and never hear what im saying Onto the swing going high as it can I wish that it knew how much it's hurting me but it'll never understand After a long day of running in my head It usually goes away on its own Perhaps it got too dark in my mind probably just ran out of time My thoughts disappear But at this point I'm left with fear I try to be strong and keep going But its hard when you know itll be back in the morning. © 2016 Kimberly Sanchez |
