As I Lie, by me
As I Lie, by me
Cracked eyelids
what’s that sound?
Neighbour’s kitchen light
clear your mind
Watch is ticking
no, not like that
Blank canvas
whatcha painting?
I’m trying, ok?
oh, I see, blank canvas
No paint! Blank!
did that email sound rude?
Some light is blinking
the smoke detector?
Which one?
take your pick
There it is again!
definitely the smoke detector
I was on autopilot, it’ll be fine
busy day tomorrow, huh
At least it’s silent
your watch face isn’t, though
So much to do…
what’s on your list?
Blank. Canvas.
tick, tick, tick
Do I really want to know?
how many seconds til your alarm?
— me
Welcome to my mind! It’s noisy in here and all of it is inane. I hope this poem makes a little bit of sense – though it is meant to be a stream of consciousness not necessarily in the right order. If you relate to this in any way I recommend asking your GP about ADHD. Joking! But also.
