So much going on
I need to escape
I crawl into bed
Pulling covers over my head.

-

I lay there silently
not moving at all
but nothing stops
too much is going on.

-

This warm dark cocoon
is not inviting at all
instead of peace and silence
it’s full of invading thoughts.

-

A million thoughts
competing in a race,
for my attention
jumping from place to place.

-

The escape that I wanted
has escaped from me
a multitude of thoughts
hounding, not letting me be.

-

As I drift in and out
my dreams become dark
the worst of me surfaces
my confidence, my purpose drowning
as I awake with a start.

-

I try to escape into silence
and restful slumber
instead I’m plagued,
with thoughts louder
than thunder.

-

Fears, hopes
uncertainty and dreams
all clamoring and tugging,
my heart and soul want to scream.

-

I am tired of searching
I just want to be
I am tired of learning and changing
I want to be free.

-

I want my mind to be silent
alive in this moment
I want to feel and experience
love with heaven’s scent.

-

Go away thoughts
just let me be.
Let me breathe in this moment,
let my gratefulness and joy become me.
