Landfill Mind

 My mind is a giant landfill

Overflowing to an invisible brim that keeps getting higher and higher

The thoughts move faster than the speed of thought and they swish around like they’re trying to find an emergency exit in a rapidly spreading fire


The thoughts are also the fire 

They’re trying to escape themselves?


Topic after topic, trauma follows trauma, self worth plummeting and shame ruling as king 


Doubtful Definitions of past, present, and even future moments all skewing reality 


The butter knife turned sword, the friend turned ward 

It’s all a bit untoward 


A circus of criminals casting their confusing and callous concoctions of conceived conundrums 


Can’t tell truth from imagination


My poor body there to witness it all, my mind screaming: stop!


My tears are the exit point of some of the steam turned liquid 


But alas the tumultuous tumor of trauma and terror remains, although tears turn them to teetering towards tiny tinctures 


Self

Others

Things

Life

Everything in need of calm 


Takes a deep breath, lungs laugh at the attempt to heal, to steal a moment of sanity in the storm that is my mind
