Knots of thought

Where to run? There's nowhere to go Where to hide? I can't go below I cry, I cry I sigh, I sigh The world's a mess As am I So when I'm stressed I look to the sky Why, oh, why was I put here? In this place, this family, this time, oh dear! My head spins with spools of thought All tangled up in terrible knots I think and think And think some more that I should drink But drink I will not do my dear For when I do I lose my head And I cannot lose my head I fear Otherwise you will find me dead

Dear Sarah, You have wonderfully captured the feeling of being trapped in the chaos of one's own mind. The imagery of tangled thoughts and the struggle to find clarity can be tiresome with no answers sometimes. I loved how your words evoke a sense of desperation and longing for escape, yet also highlight the resilience and determination to persevere despite the overwhelming darkness. Wonderful Write! - Blessings, Daniel
