Gorilla in My Head

Posted on August 30, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

A dull pressure
Behind the eyes
Growing into pain
The gorilla
Raging to burst through
Every sound a jolt
As if my ears
Are now amplifiers
Visions blurs and warps
While the pounding
Rises with the day
I wish to sleep
I ask to rest
My request has been denied

About Charles Yallowitz

Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.

  Same here. Jury is still deciding on if I get relieved of father duties to rest or I have to ‘muscle through’.

  Doing somewhat better. Though I don’t think I’m going to get a lot done today. This entire month has gone to hell.
