State of Self

by Vincent Thornsberry   Jan 27, 2015


Heart pounding,
Mind hounding,
Can not sleep,
Thoughts that creep,
Through my mind,
Can't unwind,
Like a spring,
Bound with string,
Wound so tight,
Want to fight,
Thoughts racing,
Still pacing,
Try to breathe,
Feelings seethe,
Through my veins,
Pull my reigns!
Exploding,
Imploding,
Light fading,
Dark shading,
Blinds my eyes,
Tells me lies.
Binds my heart,
Breaks apart,
World shatters,
What matters?
Destruction,
Can't function,
I'm alone,
Overthrown,
Feeling lost,
Paths have crossed,
Armor rent,
Won't relent,
Need some time,
To clean the grime,
So this is me,
For all to see,
Put on a shelf,
My state of self.
