The song stopped playing
And we sat together
In silence
Not a word was spoken
But the quiet was too painful
And we couldn't bear it
Any longer

It was a mistake

The silence was broken
And all hell broke loose
It became worse
Than the quiet
The fire grew more intense
And our bond burned
Now there is no more

i sit on my bed
telling my mind to be quite,
for my mind is alert
but my body is tired.

webs of questions,
tangles of people,
and strings of stories
combine in my thoughts.

my fingers are lethargic,
neither foot will cooperate,
and my eyes are drooping—
all longing for sleep.

but my mind will win
because it won’t shut up.
yes, i really am that tired
Meaning of life
Purpose to life
Arrrg these questions...

Quantum theory
Avogadro’s law
Pythagoras
Law of torts
What does this even have to do with anything!

Pizza or noodles
Food or sleep
Definitely sleep

He left you
No I left him
Weak
strong
Arrrghh just sleep already

Front or back
Move or not
What have you achieved this year...
This Day...
Arghhhhhhh
It’s so loud in here

My mind never stops
My head never stops
Unending noise
Random thoughts
Worries...
Fears,hopes, dreams, goals
Heart desires...
Fears especially
Hopes especially
It never ends.

I want to scream
Let my words burst through in a stream
It has been pushing at me
It wants to be free
It needs to be seen
I need to express where my thoughts have been
I fight to be out
And live my life as I shout
To live in my truth
While I still have my youth
I want you to know
And to let myself grow

I want to say every word
I want to be heard.

As I stand still in the river,
the current pulling at my heels,
I hear you complain about the raging river that seems a trickle of water to me.

You talk about the water being too loud to think,
the water not being clear enough to see through,
the river becoming too deep.

And I laugh.

For once, I am proud of myself
as I inwardly recognize
that you would drow in the most shallow depths of my mind
that I have been swimming in for years.

The night is dark
biting my neck like a shark
I scream as I am pulled under
I cry out as loud as thunder
Yet I am silent
My mind is violent
Anxiety is not fun, finding any way to cope helps, That is why I am resorting to poetry.

one minuscule action
spoke to her
one thousand words
you’ll tear her in two that way..
