I Feel a Knot In My Stomach

I feel a knot in my stomach


Nervousness is coursing through my veins
A head full of memories that shatter like window panes
Sleep shelters me from the constant noises of thoughts that shames
Light and darkness together just like a film playing that you once had interest but now stains
Vivid shadows on the wall of angles made from the slight gap in the curtain bane's
Happiness is a word I see on birthday cards and television adverts or a photograph in which it contains
Please remind me what I am meant to be achieving on this planet but silence and shuffling feet pertains
