24/7

24/7 running in my head,

not a moment of peace and constant

restlessness.

24/7 walking to a beat,

a pressurizing pulse to synchronize

every action with a piece whose name

I can't recall.

24/7 blaring in my mind,

can't hear my thoughts over the loud

jagged melody like a cliff with oceans

beating the thunderous rocks.

24/7 a security for me,

drowning out the hideous wail of sadness

creeping upon me and threatening

the celebratory chaotic state of my mind.

24/7 a support for my lips,

keeping them upturned and freeing my laughter,

harmonious to the song playing in my head,

24/7.
