Staring at the Wall

"I sit here and I chain-smoke,
Staring at the wall.
These memories, they invoke,
Feelings of withdrawal.

I try to change the channel,
Try to make this pass.
My thoughts I dismantle,
To make of them some sense.

I tear apart the how's and why's,
Completely over-thinking.
I think ten million thoughts and visualize,
Them when I'm blinking.

But then the thoughts take over,
And fill the whole room.
There is no way to take cover,
To prepare for the sonic boom.

That is my emotions erupting,
Leaving me in shattered pieces,
Taking my happiness, disrupting,
My motivation decreases.

I sit here and I chain-smoke,
Staring at the wall.
Feeling down and sad and broke,
It's hard to talk at all."

Deal with Them as They Surface

"Trying to come up,
With a new way to say,
Here overflows my cup,
With thoughts most insane.

Out of my control again,
I don't know what to do.
So I pull out my pen,
And my journal too.

I try to process how I feel,
I try to get it out on the page.
My fears seem so real,
Locked inside my head, a cage.

Taking the beast for a walk,
Trying my best to tame him.
Let him speak up and talk,
It's not about trying to blame him.

All these feelings that arise,
They are for a purpose.
Don't mask the emotions, don't disguise,
Deal with them as they surface."
