Not Enough


I wonder sometimes

why my mind skips

mind skips

like a scratched CD

tick tick tick

Information overload?

Over stimulated?

Not enough words to define my thoughts

Not enough words to define my emotions

not enough

not enough

Too much silence

not enough movement

not enough

wondering what

the next thought will be

how long will it hold me

sustain me

distracted by similar thoughts

not enough

nothing strong enough

to engage me

thoroughly

I can try to slow my mind down

to focus

not enough

too many thoughts

a voice inside me

begging for order

keeping me together

together

my mind drifts

like a bird in the sky

soaring

through and around

clouds of thought

drifting

drifting

drifting...
