Sleepyhead
It’s Rationality against insanity
inside my mind.
Mechanical roars and rhythmic thumping form sleepless nights.
My body shows battle scars
from hostility and strife.
I look down at my hands;
I’m holding the knife?
I know one thing;
I believe something else.
Your words have become the artillery shells.
I’m waiting for that explosion that I know is going to come.
I suddenly see the nuclear bomb everywhere, in everything, at once.
They tell me that’s called a trauma response.
at the very least, I feel like it fit the vibe.
Bio:
My name is Britney. I’ve always loved music and writing it. A lot of my lyrics might come off as being very negative or depressing, but it’s always been the way I process and deal with things. I feel like if I get it out and put it somewhere else, then I don’t have to hold on to those emotions. Sometimes I can’t find a tune for the content I want to write, so it just becomes a poem. I put it out there in hopes that whoever it connects with needed it just as much as me.
Britney performed her first poetry reading at The Black Cat in Oneida Tennessee, USA.
