There is a storm in my brain
Thoughts spiralling down with gale force winds
Picking up pieces of life i don’t want to remember
Forcing me to endure the storm till it passes
Then it is calm, but not for long
Sometimes it returns as a tornado
Swirling around, chaotic but quick
But other times it is a hurricane
Crashing down on me, wave upon wave
Relentless and lasting
It is agonizing and confusing
The inability to think,
To know what’s happening inside me
It makes me wish i were asleep
Or that my heart had stopped beating
It makes feel like i am falling apart
Where nothing makes sense
My thoughts are not my own
Everything I think
is from someone else’s brain
But that feeling goes away
The storms never last forever
Though there is always aftermath
Thoughts are always lurking
Just underneath the surface
Waiting to come back up
Even worse than before
To pull me apart
Piece by piece
And destroy me
