As if holding my breathe
As if I hold it long enough
My wish will come true
And sadness looms
In my eyes
In my heart
How do I stop it?
Let it go?
How do I turn it off?
How do I stop thoughts?
Like a broken record
Over and over
Without desire to stop
Like thoughts
Want to torture me
And put tape on the switch
So my hand constantly
Slips over it
And can’t grasp
How
How do I turn it off?

I liked this when you read it to me tonight...asking a lot of questions. Funny to see your reaction to my poetry questions.
