My Mind
May 19, 2018
My mind is a wasteland,
Ravaged by worry,
Consumed by anxiety.
It’s crumbling
From the inside out,
Crooked, twisted trees,
Rise from the ashy landscape,
Inside my mind.
I am drowning
In the tumultuous ocean
Of my thoughts.
Soon, I will slip
Beneath the surface,
Vanish beneath the crashing waves
Of chaos.
They’ll never know
