Brain Cage

A poem about leaving certain people alone to process their feelings

A turtle, when overwhelmed
Sticks his head into his shell
That’s how I sometimes feel
When my brain just wants to yell

A loud brain creates hardship
Especially in a car
Cause if you feel the need to retreat
You won’t get very far

That’s why, when I feel confined
Like my brain is in a cage
I just need to retreat for a bit
Spend some time backstage

Because there, I can process
Collect my thoughts on how I feel
And if you feel the need to ask what’s wrong
That’s the time for your lips to seal
