In My Head

A girl  comes home from school,
dumps   her jacket on the chair in the corridor,
goes to the living room jumps on the sofa with green cushions.
She slips off her Sketchers, puts on the tv –  Victorious.

She puts down the scream of children,
the chatter of her class, it sounds like a bunch of animals,
Moo, woof, meow, over and over again.
Like a clock going in circles.

She hears the sound of birds,
a drip hitting the window,
the smell of nothing but thin air.

The girl overthinks everything, literally.
like some voice repeating itself over and over.
She wishes all the troubles would stop.
