By D. R. DiFrancesco
Being pulled from side-to-side,
My mind,
A menagerie of disjointed thought.
Attempts at composure,
An act of self-deprecation,
Leading me further into disarray.
What do I do?
Emotions have no focus,
Every path a winding dead end.
Holding me back,
Racked between chaos and cognition,
Drowning in confusion.
I urge myself to take a breath,
Empty my tortured mind,
If only for a night.
Hoping for thoughts to regain composure,
I know this too shall pass,
It always does.
In the meantime,
Wallowing in this mire, that is my mind,
I will wait.
Dom DiFrancesco 
You express a condition so well known – I’m sure we could all say we have ‘been there, done that’! I like how you are able to say that this too shall pass – a wise approach we would all do well to adopt!
Thank you Melody. I have been feeling this way lately as I can’t seem to focus at all. There are so many things I want to do and say, but I can’t decide what I want or need to do first. It’s very frustrating, but as I said, “this too shall pass.” Soon I hope.
All things, good and bad, do end eventually… 🙂
