Post Valentine Stress Disorder Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

She hangs her head inside the bin of confusion
Her mind muddled by last night's events
Her imagination stretched to the limit
Her thoughts racing up and down the tracks of life
She had the best night of her life
But questions pummel her mind
Was last night real?
Is he Mr. Right?

A small voice inside her head
Holding the reins of sanity
Tells her to calm down
To re-access her life
To redefine her moment
To accept that
Reality is a very interesting phenomenon
Able to be manipulated by the hands of time
Into unrealistic pieces of excitement
Disconnected from everyday reality
But yet again, reality is dynamic

She lay on her bed of confusion
Her headache magnified
Her thoughts in a tumultuous state
Her heart in the middle of a crisis
Her mind unfazed by the reality in her head
She was falling into her own imaginary world
A world of fantasy and dreams
An unrealistic world
