Raw thoughts

Deep thoughts pour over me 
like whiskey over ice 
the darkness is sharp, bitter 
cutting through me 
sending a shiver to my aching bones 
I can hear my heartbeat 
more like pounding 
wild thoughts run 
my mind overloaded 
what should be tranquility 
is like squirrels scrambling 
a time of reflection 
overpowered by constant doom 
walking blind in darkness 
while losing sight of 
my original path
