over&over&over&

i want to sleep

but i can’t sleep a wink

do i need a shrink?

thinking in thoughts and lines

i need to take some time

off

i need to find an escape

a vacation

i need to find a way

to look away

i’m a castaway

stuck in the sea of my own thoughts

i’m on a dilapidated piece of wood

i’m on an iceberg in the middle of a flood

of thoughts

i’ve failed

now i’m drowning

in words

in thoughts

in letters

in colors

all mixing

i’m missing

the point of this madness

the end and beginning

is deliberately ditching me

i’m in the middle of nowhere

stuck

somewhere

out there

in there

my own brain

i can’t control

my feelings are all distraught

i’m caught in a knot

i’ve ought

to figure out that help is naught

i bought

myself into this mess

i’m a mess

in distress

call the ambulance

call the doctor

i need

to be looked after

because left alone

i’m like a dog

a stray

lost and wandering,

wondering

wanting

needing

some sort of help but receiving

none; nothing

because i’m nothing

i’m nothing

i’m nothing

n o t h i n g.

i need to stop thinking.
