I Want To Think

By Bhavya Kumari

Weary from the day’s work I lay on my bed sluggishly; feeling nothing at all. I want to think but my mind resists and dives into nothingness. My mind blocks my thoughts. I sit up in exhaustion; I want to think but I feel restricted. Looking up at the empty grey sky reflecting my mind, I try to think of it yet again my mind forbids. Tiresome and tireless I walk to the kitchen. I look at the cupboards then outside the window, a little light glowing outside distracts me, and yet again I fail to think. I squint at the light and I can’t think. Unsettled, I walk around aimlessly still unable to think. I shake myself because I want to think. My eyes wander to find something to think about. They stop at the empty black cover of the notebook on my desk. Unlike before, my mind thinks. I walk over, take a pen, flip the pages and write the heading….. “I want to think”
