thoughts overflowing
whirring around my brain
eyelids heavy
tiredness overcoming
i decide to save the thoughts for another day
but it isn't quite that easy
for the thoughts aren't particularly positive
and leaving them there
whirring around
simply causes more decay
i decide to face my problems
and take the key to my soul
i open up the box that has stored my emotions;
for so long
the thoughts are ever restless
yet when confronted
they shy away
"please, not now. i cannot deal with this today."
