Racing Thoughts

Racing thoughts

My mind is about to beat out of my head

These mental palpitations are tough

Thoughts racing at a high rate of speed

My sensorium screams out, ENOUGH

All I hear is the roar of the engines

The noise is deafening to my soul

Thoughts spanning the entire globe

And raise a brow at Interpol

This synaptic snafu of epic proportion

Opens a portal to the twilight zone

And the anxious intrusions of thought

Bring a mayhem like never known

Mind pounding thoughts racing today

Some times though it slows its pace

And peace returns on those good days

Because my mind and heart have space

On These kind of days, I take a breath

And remind myself of what I’ve learned

‘tis but a thing that will leave real soon

Although for now it has returned

I’ve learned to live with it and even laugh

At these tricks my mind can play

Managing this thing called anxiety

And watch my thoughts just race away
