input/output (a balancing act)

My head is filled with too much things

I need a brainwashing

A brainwashing

My head is loud with too much sounds

I need a silencing

An ear cleansing

A thought mending

My sense is covered in too much feel

I need a sit still

A sit still

My canvas is too covered in colours

It’s too filled

I’m too full

I need an emptying

An expressing

Denial

The pain would split me in two if I let it. If I gave it access to my insides. Split me right open. Turn me inside out. Leave me no safe place to hide. I can feel it coming in around me. Closing in on me. I can feel it surrounding everything. When it feels hard to breath. When you turn the music up a little more loudly. All I know is suffering. I don’t want this suffering. All I know is suffering. Not this time. I won’t let you in. I won’t let you win. I don’t want to grieve anymore. I’m so tired of it. My body has dropped down on the floor, as I sit and write this. My body isn’t with me anymore.
