Brain Fried

Brain Fried

Thoughts drifting

In and out.

Stuck in a cave

Unable to get out.

Rolling

Over and over inside my head.

Wondering?

Do others ponder

Until brain dead?

From every corner

I take a look.

Reading every letter

Inside my scrambled book.

Forward

Backwards

In between.

I've memorized

The lines of every scene.

But still the answers don't come.

I'm tempted to role over and just suck my thumb.

(kidding)

But really, come on?

When will I see

The answer

To the questions plaguing me?

God, I've asked

I've prayed

I've cried

I've reached out

'Till my brain felt fried

And totally burnt out.

But still I'm banging

On a steel door.

No one is answering

I feel ignored.

I can't get in

It's too big for me.

You have the answer

The lock

And the Key.

So, open up

What I can't unlock?

Bring an answer

To the door I've knocked

My bloody hands into?

I'm not bitter

I just need you:

To answer the questions,

To open the door,

Get me out of the cave

From endless mind boggling

Will you save?
