My Scattered Thoughts

My thoughts are scattered about like sand in the wind
Blowing hither and tither without a place to land
Summoning the courage to pick up my scattered thoughts, and finding the 
strength to go on
My frazzled mind seeks release from the tension, of loss and mourn, making
me shrink further inside myself
Thinking, blinking, hoping and praying, who will rescue me from the body
undergoing this death
Stress abounds hurt so profound, wounded like a trapped animal
seeking release from this horrendous beast
Thrashing to and fro, wondering where to go, sadness and pain, mingling with
the rain
Pounding like an angry train, faster, harder, my thoughts for barter, tempestuous
thoughts, running, hiding, forever inviting me back to me peace in tow
Dying to know, wondering in slow motion
Just trying t o come out of myself, to compose my thoughts randomly, the things
people say to me, do to me, the ones who say they love me, and turn around
and spew forth the ugliest hurtful words they can think of
Anything you see, shredding my dignity,
Whoever said that words don't hurt, has no earthly idea of how wrong they were
As with stabs of a knife, words can cut like a two-edge sword
Words so profound they knock you down and you can't breathe
cannot conceive, while inside you are dying and bleeding, and why I say,
words cannot convey, like agonizing poison that you have thrust upon me
Thoughts so scattered, I wonder how and why, now how I can get back to me
Fleeing, agreeing, and once again believing
I run, I cry, I soar on high, seeking once again to free my mind
I wrangle, I twist, I turn, I bought, and once again yearn to be released from my 
scattered thoughts
