Think Think Think

None

By Doreen SimpsonPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

When I am alone all that I ever do is think.

Each night I spend ruminating over and over.

And the following day everything goes blank.

I just want to stop these continual delusions,

I desperately want to sleep all of the night.

And I want the chance to function in the day.

But I can’t seem to ever shut the thinking up.

It screams, roars, and it takes over my head,

Then as always all that I can do is just listen.

Until eventually, finally, my thoughts go away,

Finally, I'm allowed to sleep for just a little while.

However, I will never, ever, get enough rest.

Because I can’t silence the constant thinking

Thus, I am always so very tired. I go through

Each day never, ever truly rested and awake.

During the day I cannot seem to remember

Anything. I seem to forget what I am doing,

I sit and stare; until eventually, my mind snaps.

Every evening I spend questioning myself,

What can I do to shut this mind of mine off?

Is there any way to make it all just go away?

I just don’t want to think anymore

I enjoy writing about my feelings about life (mine in particular). Hopefully, someone else will read them and know that they are not alone.
