Yikes!

A punch from the left
now one from the right
yikes, I need to duck.
There all around me
they won't go away
I want to run very far,
but I can't.
No where to go
I can't escape them.
Yelling and screaming
through my mind,
shut up I say!
They don't listen to me
minds of their own,
who do they think they are?
Maybe I should send them
an eviction notice for cruelty
don't know if I can evict them
they don't pay rent,
they're just there.
Oh no, they're inside now
pounding like a hammer
I grasp my head in my hands
what am I gonna do with them?
Relentless in their journey
to anger me beyond reason,
they'll go away, they have too
cause it's my mind.
I'll show them who's boss
I'll turn off their electricity
if they have no connection
to my senses they can't harm,
then my smile shall return
to where it belongs.

OMIGOD... you have some people in your head punching you, Gloria?

Perhaps you've spent too much time in the 'stute?!?!?!?

maybe it's just me, but that looked like an avid description of someone who has multiple personalties due to extreme physical trauma...i liked the piece.

Denise: Thank You, I took a very beautiful walk and disconnected them, just to much sitting in the house behind this computer, but I am refreshed now  

Kaile: Thank you  

Doreen: Thanks for stopping in and reading, you have me, ROTFLMAO just a mere case of an unsettled mind, but nature took care of it.

Good one, Gloria.  

You know what they did in ancient times?  They drilled holes in peoples heads to release the demons. The operation was always a success, but the patient died.

Hey, thanx Marge, for bumping this up, I wouldn't have seen it otherwise ^_^

well written, L.D.. hey, don't let 'em damned critters get the better of u, eh? they are a bugger, though, aren't they!! I've had more than MY share of them.. and they STILL come back.. just show 'em whose boss.. in a manner of speaking.. hehe.. well, if ever a walk in the park doesn't work, u just drop me a line, and I'll get out the ol' bashing club, and scare 'em right back to where they belong! or... of course... there IS always gene's method.. LOL. aah, u r a great person, Gloria

Don't you just hate it when they think your brain is a punching bag?  I know I do!  Glad it seems to have stopped for the time being.  This was greatly written, kept me in suspense.
