Overwhelmed



Fast and draining. Mentally confused and slightly dumbfounded. Days speed past, but hours move slow. No where in the world to be understood but everywhere mistaken. All that's wanted is acceptance and peace, but feeling like you're rolling around in a pit of tar. Clocks tick fast but their hands never move. A tower of anxiety and stress fills any voids that may exist. All that's wanted is existing more than a glimpse of sunshine on a rainy day. To love. To experience. To live.
