Playground

Playground

A 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.
