I'm going crazy
I'm going insane
Please someone
Put me
To rest
Fleeting yet vicious
Thoughts
Are racing through my mind by the
Thousands
I am afraid
I am losing
My mind
I'm thinking
The faint disturbing sounds
From their bedroom
(The strangers I've been living with my whole life)
I'm thinking
I'm wasting away
My life and
My soul
Is rotting and ageing with every
Second
And there is no
Time to stop
Not for breath, not for anything
To the point that
these commas I use feel so
Out of place
Like the words my mother
Gives
As I ask
For synonyms to the words
I deem unfit for
People
Who read
And to those who mock, taunt and ridicule
I hope you understand
That these letters
Addressed
To whoever takes the time to study me twice
Are keeping me from
Running out into
The busy
Road.
sick with apprehension that this will fail to cease
