Toxic Thoughts
November 7, 2017
He is drowning in an ocean
Of thoughts
Going through the motions
Blocking out his true emotions
Staying up all night
Until crashing
The thoughts crushing
His heart
Turning his mind
Inside out
With doubts
And bouts
Of restlessness
Pondering multiple
Questions
Growing speechless
With every thought
Each one toxic
Slowly killing his mind
He just needs someone
To listen and not mind
He is thoughtfully alone
