stomach tense
mind races
hands shake
when will this get better?
stop mind.
stop.
stop.
stop.
why won't you listen to me?
I need control.
There is no control.
Need, control
to stop the mind
from traveling down
the dark alleys--
you never come back from.
You have the ability - which I desperately want - to use few words to say very much. I'm in awe. Green with jealousy. Moved to tears.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your mom. There is power in your simplicity. The mind is a terrible thing to... combat!
