An Ode to Mental Exhaustion
Scattered loose leaf
 Sloppy side ponytail
 Head resting against tired hands
 Knotted nerves
 Frenzied eyes
 Frantic thump-thump of a tiring heartbeat
 Dull ache
 Non-functional frontal lobe
 Drifting eyes
 Drifting thoughts
 The Window beckons
 The Sunlight taunts
 The Tantalizing Taste of Summer is near
 Impatience is tangible
 Tedious moments pass slowly by
 Hysteria is short-lived
 Arduous moments blur as focus wanes
 The warmth of the soft down Comforter call out
 The Refrigerator hums a jeer
 Impatience growls
 Frustration oozes out in a string of profanities
 Desire for escape overwhelms
 It is quieted
 It is silenced
 by society's inclinations
 by expectations
 by promise of potential
 Yet the Unease remains buried deep
 Bottled in
 Seeping out quietly
 Manifesting in a Cloud of Doubt
 Drifting eyes
 Drifting thoughts...
 Scratches
 Scribbles
 Scrawl
 Try not to scream.
 Scratching of old ink against rough paper
 Scattered thoughts as scattered paper
 Cluttered
 Clustered 
 Cloistered resonance of human spirit
 Trampled
 Trashed
 Thrown away
 Frown lines
 Furrowed eyebrows
 A few more days...
 A few more days...
 A few days more.
