Broken Mind


tumbling thoughts

all different in a way and divergent

twisting and turning

distant from others yet held tight

 

shift of emotion 

a diversion

kinda like foreboding

 

some make a sense of exuberance

some make a sense of sorrow 

 

expressing is sharp

sharp is pain 

slowly inhaling the desire 

exhaling just as quick

 

wanting to stay but not yet strong

not yet brave enough

forgetful of it all

nothing makes sense

 

my mind keeps tumbling the thoughts
