Mind racing, thoughts pacing, craving all you can't have.
Nonstop motion within this skull, your restless soul pushing its bounds.
Need eats these ties that bind.
All that was natural, now foreign.
Your world has flipped, meanings lost.
Pain floods the senses promising to crush.
Waves of anger, waves of hate flood the shores.
Anguish infests every thought, as tears flow silently filling empty promises.
Elephants in the room close in squandering hopes, extinguishing dreams, and smothering happiness.
Lights dimming this feeling beginning.
Fears flourish in the night, sleep evades, nightmares enclose.
Silent screams fill the air, as panic quickens this aching heart.
Have they seen what lies behind these cold eyes?
Mind Racing, Thoughts Pacing.
