Intro

I savor the quiet at the break of day

While I lay in bed, but still awake

Meandering within my brain

Deciding which path to take

Then the bombardment of the pleasantries

Sights and sounds in cacophony

In the nodding sea of humanity

Sometimes it's just too much for me

These endless waves crash upon my mind

Disorient me til I think I'm lost in time

I blink and look, the spinning spoke

Where my mind was before you broke

My train of thought, the track now bent

Reality pulled on my tether

If you'll give me just a moment

To try and bring my thoughts together

I take a breath, close my eyes

And hope that the world will realize

This juxtaposition causes pain

The vacillations with all their strain

My heart races as my psyche wants to flee

Like the world is pressing on every side of me

I just need the quiet, a moment's solace

A trice for my soul to rest

So bothersome to acquire in the steady day to day

So I remember to keep breathing whilst I try to find a way

I didn't mean to awake here

This confusing and constant where I've been hurled

So I ask you to bear with me

As I am bearing with this world
