rush

It is a difficult task to keep your mind at ease

When the world is speeding around you.

How does one take the time to concentrate

When it seems as if there is not a second to spare?

Anxiety is heightened and emotions are sporadic.

Demands are being dished out one after the other.

And the expectation is a fully-functioning system.

How do I even gain composure?

I’m a mental disaster and all I can see

Is a blur of what’s going on around me.

I don’t remember what I started

Or what I’ve been asked to complete.

Someone just called my name

But I can’t locate where the sound came from.

My humanity feels like it’s been shredded

And thrown into a hurricane

And politely handed back to me.

What do I do with this thing?

I’ve lost myself in the rush.
