Shadows in my head



racing mind
sick with worry

anxious
and overwhelmed

squeezing gasps
choking thoughts

hour after hour
a war in the night

sleepless
no bodily peace

fearing
for outcomes

anxious heart
beats wildly

meaningless
mental meanderings

tortured desires
gone mad

ripped away
from any peace

mind
rages on

heart aches
for this ravaged world

where
is the face of God?

still more cries
from a bleeding heart

elusive bliss
out of reach

ready to crawl
out of my skin

I drown
in my storm's surge

finally depleted
this mind lets go

wrapped in a blanket
of exhausted surrender

the inner world
flips again

overtaken
by tranquility

I slip out
and sleep
