Dead
I collect thoughts like pebbles.
They rest in my head.
They lay dormant.
Gathering dusty hallucinations;
doubt, fear & procrastination.
I carry them in my skull,
a familiar comfort.
Imposters in my mind;
trying to reside triumphant.
All rational thoughts have been overtaken;
these sentiments will not be shaken.
Thoughts that long to be fed.
I wish they would just quit with their;
'I'd rather be...'

Beautifully captured my fillings as well. That space up there gets so cluttered with thoughts.

Oh how I intimately identify with this piece, dear Bethany. I wish there was a delete key for all the unnecessarily burdensome thoughts and memories that take up way too much valuable space in my noggin. This passage especially touched me,
"Gathering dusty hallucinations;
doubt, fear & procrastination."

Thank you for your kind words! I take comfort in knowing we all feel alone sometimes & therefore we never are. ❤

Lol. We need more cash for sure as it gives us options. I'm yet to be convinced that money makes us happier but I'd rather live miserably in comfort, lol.
Talk about a no brainer, right? 😉

It's important to filter one's thoughts and be discerning as to those you allow to remain and act upon.
If we allow the, "Imposters in my mind; " to take hold we may be captured by the twitter effect where the mind becomes a sewer.
The are many who are the walking dead among us.
