"So come on let's go
let's go below zero and hide from the sun
I'll love you forever, where we'll have some fun,
Yes, let'***** the North Pole and live happily,"

North Pole kinda screws up the tempo a bit

I haven't been diagnosed with ADHD nor do I think I have it, but this poem was about how full my head always feels, and specifically, this was actually a true story based on my brain trying to function last night.
Words that rise from heart and mind,
A war within, no peace to find,
Decisions swirl, no clear reply,
Questions hang beneath the sky.


Anxiety within my veins,
A restless storm that still remains,
Sleep is lost, it will not stay,
How long will this not fade away?


How long will I be trapped inside,
This war with nowhere left to hide,
How long will questions haunt the night,
Before this soul can find its light?
when you stay up late and thoughts flow like a river in your head
She ruined me,
Just like the light ruins the darkness of the night.
What she did was tore me apart,
Shattered just like broken glass.
A million tears, a million pieces
Remind me only of the way she kisses,
Or kissed..
God, what a love she had missed..
Maybe she just gave it all away..
I'm definitely not the one in power to say
If that's what she always wanted to have,
Or if she needed to leave because it was that bad.
I don't know...
But my energy is running low
I'm always tired, left with just no hope..
I choose to blame love for leaving people broke.

Thoughts keep running in my head
Never getting tired
Obsessive and  despairing
Scarring and impairing
Just when I think I can’t go any lower
I get buried one more foot under
nobody wants to hear my cries,
or the whispers of my aching heart,
I hope that maybe soon my heart dies,
so I no longer have to carry the guilt of things that I have not done,
I wait for the day I don't have to care,
can flea from every issue,
faster than a cheetah can even dream to run,
but even when my brain repeats,
like a broken record of all the things that once went wrong,
I wipe my own tears in the car's backseat,
because nothing in life is ever that significant,
or never should be, to me anyway,
but unfortunately you were truly magnificent.
I don't know how I feel about this poem so please please tell me how you feel!!
Sometimes
You’re the heavy rain
that ends the thirst and drought.
Sometimes you’re the ocean
between the waves.
Sometimes
You’re the sunrise
That breaks the night.

Sometimes

You’re the train that never arrives.
Thoughts this morning. Feedback is appreciated.

It tasted good
So many flavors
I truly enjoyed it
I enjoyed food

I loved it until I thought of my body
Then my stomach lurched
It coiled and warped
My hunger retreating
After only two bites
I couldn’t force any more down

I hated the feeling
I hated that I couldn’t do it
I hated the food

But what I hated most
Was my brain
For forcing me to think like this
I did it subconsciously
Not on purpose
Never on purpose

It was all my brain
Not my greatest poetry-wise but I had to get my thoughts out of my brain.
