Paralyzing Chaos

January 10, 2015

Paralyzed by my own mind games

Chaos surrounds me

Yet it doesn't

I can't move

But I can

I don't react

Yet I should

I just am

But am I?

Words overwhelm me

Thoughts collide

Exploding within

All these memories

And feelings and emotions

I can't comprehend

This mess. This chaos.

My own thoughts.
