Stay Distracted

It Keeps Your Mind From Wandering Too Far

By Catherine CookPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I don't want to go to sleep

But I know I need to

Antsy, frisky, not exactly moody

I don't know what it is

I'm numb

I don't feel anything

Let's talk

Never mind leave me alone

I'm fine

Not fine

How does a wave crash in your head?

Tingling through my fingers

All down my legs

A step from the edge

Jump

Then maybe I can fly

I've always wanted to fly

I just need to fly

Distractions...

Just keep yourself distracted
