Worms in my head

I have worms in my head,
That are eating up
All the thoughts
I could have had.
The worms
creep up every night
Asking to be fed on
Anything in sight.
So far they have eaten
A picture of a kitten,
Two unwritten poems,
a story I just read,
the plans I last made,
And the memories
that used to keep me awake.
Every thought I held hostage ,
They found it and ate.
Its not that I am afraid,
For I still have
Lots of things to trade.
Yet I wonder when
did I turn so meek,
to let them sneak
into my head ,
Couldn't they have
fed on some bread?
I guess not , that is why ,
I have worms in my head
That are eating up
All the thoughts
I could have had .

The girls dont want to return To the places that muted their voices To the houses that always rattled with noises To the streets they couldnt walk alone  To the houses they could barely call home. Their giggles have found a place in a faraway land Where it is snowy , and there is barely a helping hand  Yet the strange city promises the freedom, the home never did provide Where their true self they never have to hide Yes it is a little far from home  And sometimes a little less loving  But if You are to choose love or freedom May i say , freedom is worth having. The choice was made way before it was presented  If you are to ask her , this decision , has she ever resented  May be a little , may be some more But to return all the way back Is not what she came for.
