my head

i have anxiety

undiagnosed.

 

sometimes it feels like my head is stuffed with crumpled ***** of paper: the things I never said, the things I should have never said, the things that someone never said to me.

 

all of these things are written on every piece of paper

there are so many right now that no more would be able to fit

yet i can't stop thinking things, i can't stop saying stupid things, i can't stop wishing things.

 

i sigh I reach up to my forehead and i grasp my bangs

with my shaky hands and pull

 

i'm hoping one day when i do this

the top of my head will yank open

all of these crumpled pieces of thoughts

will pour out in a pile

on the floor

i will kneel down

and uncrumple each and every piece

i will read each one

until my head fills up again.
