Mentality

For twenty six hours,
I avoided the websites like
a plague; stayed far away
from markers and pens 
bits of crayon that are
lost somewhere in the 
car’s trunk. I knew what my
fingers would write if
I let them, so I bent them into
concave shapes, 
wrapped them carelessly
on a desk in front of me. 
Trying to think without 
being so darn reflective; 
now my mind is full 
of smudged letters
and broken phrases; that  I
don't know how to be
less mental
anymore.

I know the feeling. At times my brain can be so active that I find it hard to sleep. Good poem
