My Mind, My Life, and My Future

My mind is often running
With horses that are countless.
Each horse is a thought,
Some about the past, 
Some about the present, and
Some about the future.

Thoughts like, what would it be like
If I hadn't hurt people,
Because I didn't have autism, ADHD, or Biopolar.
Thoughts like 
Would it have been easier 
For me to be sick in another way?
Would it be easier for me not to do the things I did? 
Of course, but I can't change the past.
I can only change the future.

My thoughts go crazy. 
It is like my mind is falling apart.
As my mind falls apart how can I reflect, 
But I want to reflect to try and have a better future.

I think about things I did well 
And things I did poorly.
I like to write them down, 
Cut them up, and 
Burn them.
By burning them, 
I hope to get rid of them.
Sometimes this works.

But sometimes it seems like a waste of paper.
Sometimes my mind feels on fire.
It is so cluttered with junk 
That I watch on Youtube
Or think, or read,
That I go crazy.

Sometimes, I think 
I should stop reading 
Or watching youtube 
Or stop writing poems and 
delete them permanently.
But that doesn't seem helpful.
God willing, tomorrow will be a better day.

  1. This seems like a very healing poem with several good lessons for anyone who reads it as well as the writer.

  2. Please don't stop writing poems. They help more than you will ever know.
