Too Much on my Mind

I can't think of anything
But my body sags
As the weight of my problems
Crushes me into feeling numb.
My soul has no energy
The tears have long stopped.
I just want silence,
Time to heal my aching heart.
The boom of sounds
Makes me want to wail,
Tear my hair out,
Yell for the silence I so crave.
Instead I just sit with a bland face
Eyes watering for just a little less noise.
Alas, they rise
Creating waves of nausea
Trembling throughout my body.
My heart can't heal.
My soul can't weep.
My body can't move.
My mind can overthink.
