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.
