Dear thoughts/brain,

I need a break
Please shut up
For me to love us
I need you to go away

Stop flooding my brain
Its overflowing
Soon it will explode
Please
I beg if you
Even just for a day
Take a hike
Or entertain yourself some other way

I know you like to watch me fall apart
Drown in your result
But it's too much today

Respectfully
Lock yourself  up
And throw out the key
For me

With mixed feelings,
You
(this note was written by a doorknob that wouldn't twist and mocked you when you couldn't open the door)
Tobacco and gum
and a bottle of ***
point me in the direction
of what I've become,

we all go wild in the West
dreaming of who shoots the best.

even though it's a con
we still mosey on
I mosey on too looking for you
dreaming of who shoots the best.

Nemusa
Quiet hands tremble,
The weight of choice in her palm—
Steel whispers her name.

Click, the chamber turns,
A final breath, deep as grief—
The world holds its breath.

She lifts her burden,
Aiming past the stifling clouds—
Hope pierces the void.

Through the sky it screams,
A shattering wound of light—
Freedom in her hands.
Sorry for not posting something more positive this morning but I need it's sweet release.
