Overthinking

I am whelmed by just enough. Here’s a poem to make you think. Side note- did you know thinking burns calories? It doesn’t burn many but it’s something.

It is best to wait
Wait for me 
I will let you experience all I have to offer
I have to offer you the keys
The keys to the castle 
The castle is in my head

I’ve lost my muse in the castle 
Would you be a dear, and help me find it? 
The castle has many untidy rooms
As well as a few perfectly clean ones
And… then there’s the locked door
It is a void, I do not dare even knock 
I advise you do the same 

There is a tremendous war occurring just outside the castle
It influences the ruler from time to time 
Be en guarde 

They are always watching 
Always judging 
Regardless of what you do 

Pick up your head my dear
You will not be stuck forever 
It is I
And only I
Who cannot leave 
I will remain here
To rule the castle 
And avoid it’s destruction 

I don’t know what to name that poem. Do I go with something pithy or keep it simple? It’s a light description of how my head functions when I am not preoccupied by anything. Or maybe it’s just what my brain wants to make you think. Perhaps it’s a mixture of both. This is post 4 of 30 for my foolish writing challenge. And, I realize some may think I’m writing these in advance but that is not true. It’s a daily effort. Enjoy reading, and remember to be a nice person.
