Too Much in my Head
I am a fool with too much in my head,
An immense amount of thoughts and much to be said.
All night i stay in bed,
asking questions instead of sleeping.
Then i begin weeping,
because the weight of the world is making me go insane.
Emotion is filling up my brain,
overflowing,
Growing and growing,
my feelings take over as I surrender.
Tears of indignance, spilling out from my eyes,
My smile is my disguise.
But I am a curious being,
I fear not seeing the truth.
I spend most of my time watching social experiments online.
These cruel, inconsiderate people, they are a sign
of evil taking over this world.
I look for the best in others
but they are smothered in nothing but evil.
It’s unbelievable, how much wrongdoing occurs each day,
What can I do about it?
What can I say?
I try to find the good in some people’s hearts but often fail,
A trail of evil and wicked immorality is what many choose to walk upon.
Because some are simply mean,
you may try to lean on them,
and they will turn their back.
Some don’t understand how much others need them, and that is a fact.
Many refuse to be a helping hand,
Land on your feet, or fall miserably in life, they don’t care.
It’s easier to sit on the sidelines and stare.
But me?
I do not simply stare,
am aware of the despair and the corruption,
I’m trying to sleep, I’m trying to study but these thoughts are a disruption.
I cannot keep up with the rest of the world, it’s moving too fast.
Cannot grasp onto the idea of how much pain others undergo,
The days for them feel so slow,
With no purpose in life
To just wake up and face of a day of disease, hunger, violence and oppression.
Seems that I have an obsession with getting involved,
so that I can solve every conflict
But my dreams and reality contradict.
Sometimes I feel so small,
so powerless,
I insist on staying inside all day worrying.
Because it is easier instead of hurrying to find a solution.
Just ignore the fatalities and the pollution.
It’s easier to hide my face behind my hands and pretend like it’s not there
so that I can bear it.
But the world is calling my name,
they need my assistance,
it doesn’t matter the distance, and if those in need are across the world or in the community.
This is my opportunity.
I cannot save the world but I can make a difference and be of assistance.
I have the power to make changes big or small,
All conflicts won’t disappear, but that’s nothing we should fear.
Because doing something is better than doing nothing.
Don’t spend your time rushing to right every wrong,
just spread kindness and love until everyone begins to sing along.
I am a fool with too much in my head,
but it’s better than being mindless and unaware of the pain other’s struggle to bear.
It’s better than not having enough in my head, it’s better than not thinking about how quickly the world is sinking.
Everything that my head is composed of is necessary to maintaining my identity
Seventy miles per hour, my thoughts and concerns race,
Seems like a disgrace, but it’s just who I am.
I need these thoughts, regardless of the cost.
If I had anything less inside this skull of mine,
I wouldn’t be who I am.
Yes, it leaves me with an immense amount of things to be said,
But I am a fool with just the right amount in my head.
Favorite poem of mine to read aloud by far.
So much passion went into this one, this is where my beliefs stand very strongly. This is the root of all that I am. Here's to chaotic minds, messy overthinking brains that get overwhelmed in empathy emotion and thoughts, let's make a difference :)
