The Thoughts are Beating
- They are too loud.
- They don't let me think.
- The numbing noise doesn't come from voices.
- But something much worse.
- The deafening loudness is caused by my Thoughts.
- I can't shut them out.
- The words trigger me in the worst of ways.
- The words can bring me to the Sleep.
- I try with all my might to stay in the Awake.
- Beat. Beat. Beat.
- The only noise apparent is the beating of my heart.
- I start to question whether it is truly me with the Thoughts.
- I start to question my sanity.
- I question the truth of myself.
- If it is me or the Thoughts bringing me to my own demise?
- Is it really the Thoughts taking control
- or is it insanity disguised in thoughts?
- Beat. Beat.
- Am I the only one?
- Is it just me and the Thoughts?
- I cannot stop the Thoughts.
- The Thoughts of anguish.
- The Thoughts of darkness.
- The Thoughts of release from the thoughts.
- Beat.
- The Thoughts have brought me to this.
- There is no more beating.
- The Thoughts have brought me to the Asleep once again
- Except this time
- There are no Thoughts of the Awake
- and there are no more Thoughts.
