I wish I could stop

Sometimes I wish I could simply stop thinking.

Stop all the thouhts that are whizzing around in my brain.

Stop all the worrying and pointless self-indulgent fantasies

   That creep through my head.

I wish that I could have some sense of peace or at least  be content with myself.

To not be embaressed or selfconscious.

To all ways wonder what others think of me.

To not constantly wonder... whats wrong with me.

To simply stop everything.

All these false hopes and

   stupid wishes only hurt me more later

They build me up so high...  

And then I fall.

I pick myself up and try so very hard not to let it happen again

But no matter what I do

It still happens.

And each time it gets worse and worse.

I hardly have enough time to mend before I'm falling again.

Until finally I just stop getting up.

Laying there broken with my stupid thoughts

Wishing they would simply stop
