Feelings whirl throughout my mind,
And when I take the time to find
Just why I sometimes feel this way,
I do not have a thing to say.
For some are anger, some are fear,
And some are distant and unclear.
They crash upon my weary heart,
And try to tear my soul apart.
I cry and beg and shout and scream,
But feelings have their own regime.
Sometimes, I feel like shutting down.
My thoughts are always there to drown.
I try to surface for some air,
But they attempt to keep me there.
They grasp my brain and hold it fast.
I do not know how long I’ll last.
