Paralyzed

Paralyzed

 


I am constantly calculating

I sit for an 1 hour, 59 more mintues,58, 57...

running through my the maze of my mind

I see

tell your story:

 

I face a never-ending tide of complicated intricate thoughts 

Over-load

Over-thinking

Over-calculating

it all paralyzes.

I don't want to be paralyzed.

 

I think 7 more days to write

if you clean your room by 12:00pm

you can eat in 25 minutes

and sit down for 35 minutes to brainstorm and type

just don't stop and do what you have to do

pressure can paralyze

I don't want to be paralyzed

 

I count

If I get this derivative question correct I’ll have 7 points

I can solve this limits problem next and that’ll give me 14 points for sure

What if I can’t solve the limits question?

I want at least 90 points

Times up

Time doesn’t wait for unwelcome distractions

Anxiety paralyzes

I don’t want to be paralyzed

 

1148 pages, 10 entries per page

and the number will go up

Self-doubt paralyzes

I don't want to be paralyzed.

So I wasn't going to try.

but I did

and damn, it feels good to be free
