My mind goes a hundred miles per hour In a body that forever remains stationary Feels like a breath inhaled, waiting The tension mounting with every pulse Of electric signals that course within To try to explain this would be impossible A dream inside of a thought in my head Not so much visions, as feelings felt In terms visceral and concrete Both converging into ideas and words That need to escape to feed or die Before withering on the vine Tossed upon the heap of forget To be burned to smoldering ash Dead, persistent babbling shouts Need to find the voice to let them out Completely in, completely out of sight Bite my lip and wish it away now Scratch the itch that glows a dull red Inside my head a hundred miles per hour |

The flow of this matches the content! Whenever I have a mind-racing episode I close my eyes and meditate for a moment, breathe in the moment...and hope it quiets my thoughts. Thank you, for reading and commenting on my posts. NFL, eh? Have you reached the 'ripe' stage of being the official Armchair Quarterback now? |

"Dead, persistent babbling shouts Need to find the voice to let them out" ~ At least your poetic pen can do the speaking for you! btw, I do what Kacy does! Calm, cool, and collected (on a good day! lol) Linda |

To try to explain this would be impossible A dream inside of a thought in my head Not so much visions, as feelings felt You've achieved the impossible, then. *S* I lost my breath in the read!! Most excellent! |
