My Mind Wrapped With a Bow

I sit here with all these ideas in my mind

head exploding

arms and legs dragging me down like golden anchors 

every thought drowning me in a sea of distress.

Hair up like millions of snakes turning smiles into stone.

I cry and cry but the words I shout are not heard

clawing my eyes hoping to get a peek at what the future brings

scared that my past will unbury and throw itself in my path and I will be unable to move on.

Darkness surrounds my body and sleep covers my mind 

stuck in a death-like trance, paralyzed

dreaming about times that shall never return.

As I'm awaken by the yells and screams that are my thoughts bouncing around the room

damaging the time that it would finally be..."us"
