‘My Carousel’

My thoughts are going round and round
My words are up; my words are down
Like a carousel spinning off the ground
My mind, it never stops

The lights are off; the park is closed
But for some reason, my mind doesn’t know

My thoughts are going round and round
My words are up; my words are down
Like a carousel spinning off the ground
My mind, it never stops

I wish to sleep; please shut it off
Drain from my mind its energy flow
My thoughts they drift
My words they slip
At last my mind

FELL
Off
