Crowded and Dense
my mind is crowded and dense
ready to collapse at my next mistake
constantly putting too much pressure on myself
to be everything,
but at the same time
nothing
to either be the storm, or the puddle created by it
as i sit there watching myself from the inside out
conceiving the thoughts i would never be able to harbor
all while my limbs detach from my body,
once a soul
breathed out by a body that never belonged to me,
for it has been taken over by a force much stronger than i ever was,
out of my control
because this is not me
i am merely composed of empty thoughts and sleepless nights,
a concept
pushed over the edge, into submission
summoned up from the floorboards of my own room
representing the very place i will crash and burn
after all, i am only here for a short time,
simply waiting to be led out of the tunnel vision
that i am trapped in again
