Upside down

Round and round

Inside out

Without a doubt

Here comes…

Topsy-turvy.

Hope I don’t have scurvy!

My mind’s a mess

Spinning with stress

Topsy-turvy, begone!

I beg all day long.

My poor brain’s

a Ping Pong game

Till I flop into bed

Near almost dead

Then one eye blink’s time

I wake up just fine.

Topsy-turvy’s departed

Leaving me glad hearted.

    This poem really captures that feeling of being all jumbled up. I've been there, when my thoughts are racing and I can't seem to focus. It's like being stuck in a topsy-turvy world. How do you think the poet managed to convey that sense of mental chaos so vividly? And what techniques do you think could be used to break out of that topsy-turvy state in real life? I'm glad the speaker in the poem found relief in the end. It makes you wonder what we can do to get to that calmer state more quickly.
