Take A Look At My Cluttered Brain Poem by Rashidah Rahman

The silence is screaming out loud
Its deafening
I can't hear myself think
Close your ears now
And pray that it'll go way

These walls came crumbling down
The things that you build so strong
Suppose to withstand the world's earthquake
It swayed to the softest wind
A gentle touch and its gone

What about my dreams?
You crumple it and throw it away
Like a wastepaper
For people to fold an airplane

And that smile
You stole it quietly
The biggest crime you ever made
And thats your only mistake

Swimming through those clouds
And I drowned,
I failed myself
Let myself down

Return me that spark
In a beautifully decorated box
And if possible
With a purple ribbon on top
