TORRENTIAL RAIN IN MY BRAIN

Running rampant like water spilling from a broken damn

Thoughts tumbling and turning over and over';

unable to focus on any one item, person, song, or thought
it is a carnival of the mind!  Just listen to the noise!
Hear the barker calling drawing your attention to the unsavory sideshows.
I am paralyzed to move; decision-making fraught with dread.
Perhaps I'll visit my safe place where no one else exists but me.
It is peaceful there.  no noise..feeling out of harm's way.
Annd when I return, perhaps creativity will come with me....and
with that there is always focus and a little extra energy!
But, at the moment confusion and distortion are creating a quandry

I am ultimately alone to sort things out. What is perception?
What is real?  Why could I not be born with a "normal" mind?

Intelligence, creativity, the ability to "pull things off"

are wonderful but there is a price.
