I am exhausted
and all my thoughts sound the same
I want to be unconscious
and not even dream
I just want it to be quiet in my mind
if only for a single hour
My mind is only ever running in circles
and I try to rake up all the thoughts that are
Sharp and Loud far into the back of my mind
and wait for them to be something
Less,
less than a murmur
To pen out and address the stress of my thoughts makes me
afraid
that they may come to life,
spring from the page and topple me to the ground
