I need something quick
to distract my muddled mind
thoughts smashed together
to chaos I've resigned
Slowly losing grip
stuck inside my head
fending off intruders
fighting myself instead
The world races past me
my eyes are shut too tight
I need to be reminded
darkness yields to light
Searching for the answers
to questions no one asked
an exercise in futility
going nowhere fast
Unable to look forward
my past put on trial
defending my fragile ego
leads me to denial
I push and pull and struggle
my efforts all in vain
never moving forward
stuck inside my brain
