When I Lose My Head by Gracian W. Masiyiwa

When I lose my head

I just walk a few steps, and

 don’t choose where I fall

or who picks me up

-

When I lose my head

I also lose my ears

It’s like singing to entertain

the depressed

I won’t hear you

-

When my head falls

I also lose my eyes

And can’t separate diamonds

from sand

Closed eyes are eyes lost

Only see the darkness

that’s Inside the head

-

When I lose my head

Be very careful, stand afar

For I lose my mouth too

That corrosive verbal acid

starts to escape

And wantonly spoils

Friend or foe

-

When I lose my head

Please I am not a loser

Just need picking up

When you gather and join me

Take heed not to leave joints

Do it under closed doors

If I can now twist my neck,

Without groaning

You may then leave
