Jumbled Thoughts

Finding relief in the words
Getting them all down
Catching them on paper
Before they're no longer found
Releasing it to the world
Not holding on anymore
Easing the pain and the feelings
That you don't want to feel anymore

Your mind drips and the thoughts fade away
Catch them now or they're likely to float away

Wanting them to drift away
High above the clouds
Wanting them to lift you up
Taking you with them
Pulling you free
Out of the mire and muck of your mind

What is the beauty of the mess
What will you find
When you pull out all the words that you find
Is there anything left
To save, to keep
Will you feel anything at all
After the moments that you weep
You'll push yourself forward
You work to move on
Trying to stay strong
But it's harder today
It's hard in this moment
How long it will last
You don't know it

The one thing you want to avoid
But it's looking at you now, right in the eye
You can't avoid it no matter how you try
It's standing there
