ONYEW BONGOS-IKWUES: STRAINS OF INSANITY

Tuesday, August 12, 2008 at 8:12pm

Swirling

The thoughts in my head

Twirling

even on my bed

Sleepless

That’s what I am

A mess

Trying to remove all the spam

Depressed

so much in my head

You say I’m blessed

But I can’t even get ahead

So what’s next

If you ask me I’ll probably ignore

I’m between decks

Walking alone this I abhor

How to cope

I think of this but can’t comprehend

But is there hope

I’m thinking only if I amend

Try to attest

A testimony, free my mind

I’m so stressed

Can I try to unwind

Hang with a friend

Try to speak but I know he don’t hear

Is this the end

You think it is but be of good cheer

I clear my head

Now everything seems so bright

Lie on my bed

Sweet dreams oh this is so right
