The monster in My Head

 

It gets worse everyday… ooh the monster in my head.
Backward and forward, tugging, aching, hurting within my head.
I feel you tearing away, slowly and painfully you begin to pull,
just not a little but a lot,
am dizzy, am tired, am frightened, am crying,
am screaming and wondering why you can’t leave me alone…
ooh the monster in my head.
Am hoping, am fighting, am down on my knees pleading, am dying,
I just want you to go, am waiting…
ooh the monster in my head.
I am yet to understand why you are making your presence known,
you are changing my life, my world, I feel very alone.
Clumsily but gently I try and push you from my head, as I fumble I try to see 
and think what to do, when all I feel beneath is the monster in my head.

Then POW your gone but no doubt not for long…
4so I wait now, every morning, every day for MY MONSTER IN MY HEAD!!

Monster in my head

 

Peces de ciudad

J. Sabina

 

Y desafiando el oleaje

sin timón ni timonel,

por mis sueños va, ligero de equipaje,

sobre un cascarón de nuez,

mi corazón de viaje,

luciendo los tatuajes

de un pasado bucanero,

de un velero al abordaje,

de un no te quiero querer.

Y cómo huir

cuando no quedan

islas para naufragar

al país

donde los sabios se retiran

del agravio de buscar

labios que sacan de quicio,

mentiras que ganan juicios

tan sumarios que envilecen

el cristal de los acuarios

de los peces de ciudad

que mordieron el anzuelo,

 que bucean a ras del suelo,

que no merecen nadar.

Mi corazón de viaje

Mi corazón de viaje
