When your mind takes over...
What do you do?
What is leftover?
As it is consuming every inch of you.
Too much on your mind...
From one side of the spectrum to another.
So much you tried like hell to leave behind.
Yet, once it hits you hard, all it does is smother.
Thoughts, memories and nightmares locked deep down inside...
Horrors no one would ever guess and you'd rather not relive...
Hence, why you choose for them to hide...
Things you would wish on no one nor would you give.
That clawing feeling as though you are being consumed deep down in your soul..
From current to present...
It is taking its toll.
Leaving you spent.
Trying to focus on the tasks at hand.
Yet, here it comes all over again.
You do not understand.
Why it cannot just come to an end.
You need a break from it all.
A moment of silence to complete your tasks.
Not another moment to stall.
As you pretend all is well with a calm mask.
You just want to be alright.
Make it through the day.
Without battling the internal fight.
You no longer want it to remain at bay.
So what do you do when you mind consumes you.
Taking over every chance it gets.
Making its way all the way through.
As if making multiple hits.
So you take a deep breath and look around...
Pull out the paper and the pin
Making not a sound...
Here it comes once again...
So write it out if you must..
Every word...every thought
For you know for now your writing is all you can trust...
Until you find a person you can trust that is worth a shot.
Always find a way ...
a way to cope..
Never let it consume your day
Even as you fall through lives slippery slope.
You'll find the way up soon enough...
As long as you fight your way through.
Time will be rough,
but never give up or let it consume every part of you.
