Blurred imagery
Cacophony randomized
Unsettling toxins
All threats disguised
Back and forth back and forth
No settling in the grove
Assailant lurks
So afraid to move
The constant woe
Mind never at rest
Like signals darting
Electrons jest
On the lake at night
The lamplight reflected
Zigzaging on the waves
Afraid and dejected
What did you say?
I don't recall
My mind won't sway
From below it all
All consuming
This din so near
It absorbs all joy
Everything so dear
I'm really here
But then I'm not
When feeling up
Gut still in a knot
I seek reprieve
Drowning in gloom
From all these thoughts
In a mind's dark room
Happiness at bay
A friend to remember
That stormy day
Before brain's dismember
If you happen to glance
My eyes far away
Please hold my hand
And anchor my mind to stay

I might call this feeling restless
You know mindfulness doesn’t often work for me but maybe it might?
It’s funny how reading this felt like my mind was being pulled in different directions. It was like I could sense the battle.
Wow a brilliant poem, stellar eloquence! I like to incorporate science in my poems so I enjoyed yours. Kudos for this great muse.
Pls do read my newest poem too, thanks,
