The stars multiply as each thought races by.

A roller coaster that never ends.

Worries, wishes, fears, and dreams,

crowd my mind like unwanted friends.

Like a frightened horse fighting to be free,

who refuses to surrender to control,

my thoughts have no reins of direction.

Like a thread that loses its hold.

Time stops with endless chatter.

Like a radio that is stuck between stations.

My mind is filled with constant static.

A war between nations.

Like a city that never sleeps,

chaos erupts like fire.

Days are supposed to come to an end,

but my mind never tires.

I try to come up for some air,

only to be sucked back in.

I struggle against this whirlwind,

only for it to begin again.
