Manic Overload
resist the urge
fight the temptation
don’t be stopped by the strangulation of hesitation
or the unsteady foundation
which was built from your fears
time is of the essence
but don’t be anxious
you still have time to kill
the voices in your head are all liars
you just have to find the will
the will to get up
the will to fight back
even when your mind is under attack
they are a figment of your imagination
a cruel and contemptuous creation
conjured up by the frustration
of not being able to think clearly
making your mind delirious and dreary
there is only one opinion in your brain
even if sometimes you feel you're going insane
even if it feels like there is an elephant on your chest
just try and sneak in one little breath
if your hands are gripped so tightly on the rains
that you can see the bright blue color of your veins
and the whites of your knuckles
but you can’t gain control
find one thing to focus on
and don’t let it go
your mind may be moving fast but you can
train it to move slowly
take it day by day
repeat to yourself
*Just keep going*
and a word from the unlucky ones,
remember time will heal
fight the urge to act on impulse
decipher what is real
your mind can be a menace
you can’t control how you feel
just think before you do
you’re the one behind the wheel
