Overdrive

Different format xD

Overdrive

 

Why are you trying to

Run on overdrive?

You’re going to burn me out

 

I don’t want to think

Why do you keep thinking?

Can’t you just slow down

Let it go

And breathe?

 

I don’t want to think

Can’t you shut up?

You’re hammering my mind

You’re trying to escape

It’s so difficult

Keeping you in

 

I don’t want to think

I need a distraction

Something to keep my mind

Away from this

Escape into a thwarted reality

Just not this one

 

I don’t want to think

Stop thinking

Let it go

Let it go

Don’t make me think

Don’t think

I don’t want to

i agree with betsy this was excellent and a job well done:)

I really like this. It has a sense of urgency about it which draws the reader in. Thank you for sharing :)

I love the back and forth...and of course, although you are trying a new form, you maintained great flow :)
The thrid stanza is my favorite; I have those thoughts that won't go away and it feels like this.
This is a great write, Thank you for sharing, keep writing!

I love this. I think these things to myself all the time. Okay, that's probably not a good thing. But anyway, you've captured the weary frustration well.
Good work!
