Overwhelmed
Drowning
in a sea of thoughts
no beginning nor end
one thought bleeding into another
all clamouring for attention
baby birds in a nest
I try to shut my mind
meditate
observe the thoughts
don't hang on to them
but I am being swept away
I need something to hold on to
When you leave your nest
people call you brave
but no one tells you
in those moments
when you look back
see the remnants of the nest
feel the panic in your chest
that you're still alone
Gave myself 5 mins to write something, unedited.
