Stop.

There are so many

Thoughts in my head

Feelings in my heart

it hurts

it burns

it's taking hold

and won't let go.

There is not enough

clarity

time

emotion

one way

another

make a decision

breathe in

breathe out

wait

life goes on

life stops

the world spins

and you sleep

and you wake

just as the sun rises

and you postpone

countdown

set rules

break them

resist your own inclinations

stop.

Regroup.

breathe in

breathe out

wait.
