Array ( [sid] => 47543 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Backroom [time] => 2004-05-14 18:18:31 [hometext] => A poem about what goes on in the backroom of my mind. Enjoy :D [bodytext] => Backroom

Here in my corner,
whispering in my head.
I wonder what they’ve said,
and I wonder can they see me?
Here in the backroom of my mind,
in my claustrophobic corner.
They might hear…

Time…

Slips away,
losing grip, might loose my footing and slip.
They might like that though,
laughing in my mind I hear them.
And I wonder what they say,
while I play with memories.
Here in the backroom of my mind,
sometimes I might glimpse.
A distant…

Shadow…

For an instant,
but I just smile and look away.
I don't understand what they say.

Why do they leave me here,
why don't they break this mirror.
And discover there is much to find.
Here inside my mind

And I wonder can they hear me,

Screaming...

Here in the backroom of my mind.

Backroom

Here in my corner,
whispering in my head.
I wonder what they’ve said,
and I wonder can they see me?
Here in the backroom of my mind,
in my claustrophobic corner.
They might hear…

Time…

Slips away,
losing grip, might loose my footing and slip.
They might like that though,
laughing in my mind I hear them.
And I wonder what they say,
while I play with memories.
Here in the backroom of my mind,
sometimes I might glimpse.
A distant…

Shadow…

For an instant,
but I just smile and look away.
I don't understand what they say.

Why do they leave me here,
why don't they break this mirror.
And discover there is much to find.
Here inside my mind

And I wonder can they hear me,

Screaming...

Here in the backroom of my mind.

-Karen Noll
