Wandering mind

Sometimes when the mind starts wandering 
So many memories and thoughts keep pondering 
Life never stays the same as it keeps on changing 
Moments of joy and sadness just keep reclaiming 

Sometimes there is chaos all around 
You look for silence but never found
No one sees the frenzied turmoil 
On the surface all looks so serene

Sometimes your mind blocks everything 
No memories no thoughts just practicalities of life
You are broken but not to the visible eye
Grief rewires everything just for you to survive 

Sometimes you struggle to break the shackles 
Sometimes you just quietly gather your pieces
All it takes is to be true to yourself 
And slowly rest will always fall in place.
