i close my eyes,
but i see faces,
i shut my ears,
but i hear voices,
i close my mouth,
my mind keeps talking,
i pace my breath,
but i keep gasping,
i sit in silence,
but noise keeps coming,
i still my body,
my feet keep itching,
i void my mind,
but thoughts go wild,
i can’t let go,
of fears inside,
as i drift slowly,
with each passing hums,
i dance to the beat,
of invisible drums.
