Too Many Thoughts

by ·

12/13/2015
Too many thoughts and ideas;
Afraid to let them go.
Anxiety builds with the growing fear
of a single one going unresolved.

No one idea has a chance to fully mature,
in thought or in action.

Tripping over the countless corpses—
who carried such promise—
but yielded no fruit:
The vine cut before the fruit could ripen.

Replaced with another who will
ultimately serve the same fate.
