No such thing as normal only...abnormal


I feel







S

H




A
K




E



Y















Letting it
Tear me apart


From the
inside out



Stressing me out
And bringing
Me down


It needs to



STOP!




I tell myself to:




Shut up





Close my eyes





Breath





Relax






But such simple tasks



I cannot do



For my mind




Is racing





Faster





Than






My






Words





I try letting




It all out



With a





Notebook




And pen
But it doesn’t
Seem to work
It doesn’t feel right

I still feel
S
H
A
K
E
Y

What will help?
What do I do?
How do I get past
This feeling?
Questions and
No answers
Racing through
My mind
Never to
be known
Shhh…
I tell my self to:


Stop
Slow down
Calm down
Relax
And think
Of no one
And nothing
Let your breaths
Bring you into
A never-ending
ocean
Of waves
And breaths
Pushing and
Pulling you into
Calmness…
UNTIL…
My mind
Starts to race
Making me rush
And rush
Till
I finally break
And melt down
Into a
Bazillion tiny pieces
Never to be fixed
But just start
The mad cycle
Over
And over
Again
With no
Solution
To the
S
H
A
K
I
N
G

Of my mind
Heart
And body
Just letting it
SHAKE
Me till I
Break
From the
Inside out!

Do you ever get that feeling like your mind is racing faster than your words and then you try to get it to slow down but nothing helps? Well this is what this poem is about.
