My mind is scattered

Racing at 100mph

I can't keep up with my thoughts

I feel lost, I feel desperate

I feel confused

Lonliness consumes me and this pain is growing from within

Eating me alive

I am helpless

I am not inside my body

But far away, on the outside

I feel angry

Then i release this pain

My head is pounding

My eyes are watery

My throat is sore

I rinse the taste of angst from my mouth

Bad memories are flushed down the drain

Now I am floating

I feel faint, Like i'm flying

I fell this rush

and then i collapse
