My Mind

A Poem by anonymousgirl

Sometimes my mind scares me,

I'm sure it does everyone at one point,

you could be thinking that I'm talking about your own mind,

but maybe I'm talking about mine,

My mind runs at a hundred miles an hour,

I sometimes question the power,

I start thinking one thing and I delve into another spectrum of thoughts,

that create a page of words that once read back are confusing and incomprehensible,

most of that not even understandable,

But in the moment,

when I'm writing the words coming from my stream of thoughts,

it flows and doesn't stop and it haunts me,

because I set off swimming,

and I forget to come back up for air,

until I'm so deep it's too late to reach the surface again,

and I am left in a dark empty place,

Once my lungs have filled up with water,

and my mouth still refuses to open,

it triggers a trickle of a tear from my bloodshot eyes,

the only way it could escape and once it started it wouldn't stop,

it was the only way I could breathe again.

It all pours out,

everything that was trapped,

not only the water from my lungs,

but the thoughts from my head.

Teardrops fall onto my inky page of mess,

and blur the intangible words formed by my hand,

and Im back to reality,

a girl sat at her desk,

with the door shut behind,

trying to make sense,

of the mess inside her mind.
