At Wits End

Daily my brain hurts

troubled with problems

back and forth with true devotion

rely on faith, not intellect

do not understand the idiom

my brain is at its ropes end

I do have my wits about me

So eloquent processing ideas

these endless expressions of pain

always misbehaving,

the brilliance of a heart

with the emotions of a baby

always surrendering to sadness

Jumping to conclusions

taking unilateral actions

consequences be damned

my brain is at its wits end

Oh, peace of mind

I'm searching for you,

before too long I find myself

burst out with full emotion

at dawn my brain recharges

complete and whole again

no longer at my wits end
