Remote Control

Sometimes I just wish 

I could turn off my brain

with a remote control.

 

I want to mute these thoughts,

lower the volume on my depair.

 

I want to change the channel

and restore hope I once had.

 

I want to find peace 

in the noise.

 

It's so deafening,

sometimes louder than 

anything outside of me.

 

Sometimes I just wish 

I could turn off my brain

with a remote control.
