My head is full Thoughts feelings and emotions Filled to the brim in a finite container Called sanity Overflow is death, too much is locked doors and padded rooms I am a sinkhole that was just filled with cement My mind taken to the very extreme edge of functionality One step too close to falling and five steps too far for someone to catch me I am contemplating everything yet producing nothing Thinking about anything that can't be fixed Fixated on exhaling because breathing in only taints me even more Another breath means these thoughts are still here One breath is too much for me A wall of empty prescription bottles falling on top of me I am no longer fixed I am now in the appointments calendar at least once a week Days since a peaceful nights sleep Too many Days since a day without fear 0 Scorching asphalt on my feet feels like the excessive thoughts pushing against my eyes Pressure built up so high they built a new gauge just to figure me out Stacks of scribbled notes about childhood recollections compared to endless notes about what things my eyes could see Sounds ears could hear Objects my hands could touch Tastes my tongue could detect That bring me crawling back to despair asking for mercy The tank so full no one questions if it will burst Cataclysmic conversations about dead trees in the winter being better off than I am right now Its so cold inside of here Bridges have gave away under less weight pressing down upon them Walls have fallen faster than I can rebuild myself Mirrors ask to see me more often than I can plague myself to really look into them I see a shell of a man writing feelings he can't express in poems he won't share Fear bearing down on him faster than the Challenger was flying right before it blew Implosion is a necessity and explosion is heavily avoided I tear myself apart only for the pleasure of the thoughts that ask for worse I sacrifice the little bit of sanity I have left in hopes of still having something left of myself at the end I resemble a decaying and haunted house where people film amateur horror movies No one enters unless they aren't prepared to leave I can't leave unless I'm prepared to die And death is just not an option The world becomes my nightmare and sleep is the only thing I dream about Somethings are beautiful when they are broken I wish I knew how they did it
