my brain is a busy city

thoughts rush like untamed taxis  

swerving fast through crowded streets  

horns blaring in endless confusion  

no red light can stop their flow  

neon signs flash endless reminders  

of dreams delayed and tasks forgotten  

buildings rise tall with heavy emotions  

casting shadows on fleeting moments  

everyone here is going somewhere  

yet no one knows where to go  

the sidewalks ache under footsteps  

of worry pacing back and forth  

i long for a silent park bench  

in the center of this chaos  

but even the trees hum endlessly  

their leaves whispering to my fears
