In My Head, There's a Riot

by Paul Stewart

By Paul StewartPublished 4 years ago • 1 min read

In my head, there's a riot

Sometimes, I wish it was quiet

So much going on all the time

Words and stories

Songs and movies

Brainstorming constantly

Barnstorming ideas

Thoughts and feelings

Missteps and mistakes

Memories and memorials

Worries on worries on worries

Anxieties followed by more anxieties

All those times that I've lied

Those three times I could have died

Drowning in disappointment

Suffocating in self-loathing

Where is the off switch?
