What if the rain
never comes
to wash away
these thoughts?
Will I remain
poisoned by my

my throat
like a noose,
and I don't know
what I can do—
I don't know
if I can do anything
to stop these
thoughts from
suffocating me.
Oh please,
help me
wash away
my mind.
Wash away
the ability to think
and to feel.
Leave me
like an empty canvas
with nothing
but the void
to keep me company.
