On My Mind
December 25, 2016
Stacked up
In piles and
Never going away
Even in sleep
And sleep can
Just exacerbate
A thought to
Masturbate when
The next idea pops
On top and
Won’t quit
Will not quit
Until the stench
Of a rotten mind
Squelched, left
To squander
So heavy
And pressing
So hard
And pushing
So deep
And leaving
Those marks
So when I sleep
I fear being awake
And being alive
Only means
Surviving
Not thriving
But striving
For one thing
Or another
Funny to say
On my mind
When instead
It keeps going through
Preoccupied
Starry eyed
Needed, yes
Wanted, I don’t know
Think about it all
All at once
Not separated
Devastated
Humiliated
Annihilated
One track
Many runners
There one second
Gone
There to know
Nothing
There to be
Broken
There to feel
Shattered
There to see
It all
Helpless
No power
To make the change
A penny for
Your thoughts
So pointless
Frozen shut
A nozzle
Opened
Flowing free
And formed
To frack my mind
Opened up and
Cracked it
Reckless, heartless
Scared senseless
Of the repercussions
Consequences
Options open
Optical illusion
Lied to, tricked
Pressure’s on
Slow down and let seep in,
What already happened,
They stacked up
In piles,
Never going away,
Even in sleep
And sleep can
Just exacerbate,
A thought to
Incarcerate,
Conceal the feelings,
Harboring every
Fugitive thought at once,
That is
What is
On my mind
