Hypergraphia

I’m scared of all my thoughts being unwritten. 

Lists that only made sense at the time I wrote them. 

Writing is not the same as remembering. 

But I was trying to explain some type of secret that I am still learning. 

I am experiencing too many moments at once. 

So I try to keep the timelines separate. 

It is as if everyone else is holding onto reality for me. 

The writings from my heightened state felt so profound. 

So I must write!

Until all I can do is mutter and shake. 

So I must write…

Again and again.
