Lost in My Mind

Quiet

The voices are growing louder.
The silence is pounding upon the walls
The words locked in my mind are screaming.
So why can’t I write anymore?
I lay for hours trying to sleep.
I envision paradise and love.
I curl up with horror and fear.
So many thoughts race through my mind.
But once I try to write them down,
The words all begin to disappear.
Is this my curse for not living life?
For hiding behind a sheet of paper,
For not letting love enter my word,
For enjoying the fantasies in my mind,
That now I will live unable to write?
I find myself unable to sleep,
These words are hunting my ever move.
If I can not find my way back to writing,
I just might go insane.
