Distracting Intrusive Thoughts
Another Dancing with Distraction Challenge entry!
Distracting
Intrusive thoughts
Suffocate me
Torture me
Rattle me
As I try to sleep, try to rest, try to forget
Creeping like death, the moment I close my eyes
Tattooed on my mind
Incapacitating me
Only comfort is sleep, when and if it comes
Nullifying me
