my mind ticks
like a bomb waiting to explode
constantly moving
always needing something
never still
hoping, yearning, praying
to be tranquil
it will never win
it cannot stop
the world from moving
so it can never stop
moving itself

i try to be calm
i am defeated
by myself
i am my worst enemy
i cant stop what
is already in motion
my thoughts
stab the back of my eyes
ripping at the nerves
until i can no longer see
until i am unconscious
limp and lifeless

you are scared
afraid of
what i might do
whan you try
to calm me
you swallow your fear
and try to calm
the beast that is
my mind
i snap
and jump at
your throat

what have i done
the only person
that could save me
from myself
...gone
i apologize
but the only one
there to hear me
is my mind
and it laughs
