Brain locked down
by stubborn skull,
yet mind is free to flow
like racing waterfalls.
Collecting river takes
constant bombardment
from conniving mind waves;
forced lies leave deep wounds
which no surgeon could see.
Spherical bone structure
can act as bouncy ball,
consequently cutting
the water supply.
This may be the only way to sleep.
If you stand tall with closed eyes and mind,
You can finally embrace the cold night air
rustling amongst the leaves of your brain.
