Madness

Monica Nichol-Delgado

Swirling colors in my mind

Scatterbrained my thoughts won’t stop

The speed of movement makes me queasy and I remind myself to breathe

Breathe deeply

I exhale and imagine the frustration escape in dark grey clouds of smoke.

What more can I do to relieve the anguish going through my mind?

Swirling emotions running crazy through my body

I am dizzy; I feel sick

Get me off this high

I don’t want it anymore.
