WHIRLWIND

down the rabbithole

There is a whirlwind in my chest

When will I get the chance to rest

For I've been running for so long

To find a place where i belong

But part of me is left behind

And so I tear and bleed inside

And they all stare to see the blood

And wonder when the tears will flood

My face, but they are locked within

Along with all my pain and sin

I feel inside a sense of rage

With every time I turn the page

Of this new book I'm forced to read

From the old film I have been freed

But I still wish to act my part

Though other actors must depart

And so the credits pass my eyes

That glisten wet throughout the night

There is a whirlwind in my chest 

When will I get the chance to rest

  • Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this poem 12 years ago when my father died suddenly at 43. I have forever felt looking back at my childhood, a sense of melancholy like I am watching an old film that I was in but can no longer be. A time I could call on my dad whenever I needed him. Miss him every day
