Thoughts competing for my attention
Overwhelming and unrepentant
I can’t seem to separate and box them off
I’m on the receiving end of a molotov
Chaotic scenes, raging fire and I’ve got so lost
I try to play them out to take them out but what’s the cost?
No progress, just energy used, have I got it wrong?
Running low on fuel but I can’t just plod along
I’m fighting fires and rightly tired as I hold strong
The enlightened wires delight, inspired as I go wrong
Inner chemicals are relentless fuel that assembled all
These thoughts and I try to prevent my fall
But was any of this preventable?
These events just called and I need to protect my all
But how can I adequately fight
When the thoughts are throwing fuel on the fire
And there is no respite
Constantly waking in the dead of night
And my head is frazzled
So far past hassled I can no longer channel
This mess into anything, it’s a shambles
Guess the stress has had its chance to dazzle
Now I’m trying to pick up the pieces
Acting like it’s something that maybe I can handle
