No Mind of My Own

I feel so cluttered up

I got no room to breathe

There is no space in this place

Oh won't you just leave me alone

Don't want no space invaders

Takin' up my territory

They say no man is an island

He needs some company

Well that's not always true

Mine's a different story

I need some time to be alone

I need to clear my head

Sort things out on my own

Before I end up dead

Don't want all those opinions

Spinnin' round in my head

I have no mind of my own

Don't trust my own judgement no more

I don't know nothing

Or so they say

Well I'll show 'em something

Someday....someday

Leave me alone

Just go away

Need some time on my own

Without delay

Author's Notes/Comments: 

written long ago...but definitely have space invaders in my life...I need my space to be in my own place and have room to breathe...I get claustrophobic sometimes and recently the wind took my breath away and really scared me...I swear I thought I would pass out from hyperventilating...Scary to lose your breath....I need my space and air and time and place and lotsa other stuff can't mention here...

I think at times we all need our space, this poem shows that well. I'm claustrophobic sometimes too.

personal time alone to ponder thoughts/actions is needed by all without someone or thing invading it.Without it we stress to max and get nothing done. Great piece
