Thinker

Shoosh. You Keep me awake. There's no one else listening. Stop raising the stakes. Shoosh. You make no sense. You feed my frustration and get round my defence. No. No evading, no escaping. I can't shake you off. Can't make a break or getaway. Shoosh. You know me too well. Stop pushing my buttons. Stop ringing my bell. Shoosh. You make things worse. You're weaving confusion. Your words are a curse. There: Misdirections; false connections; join the dots up wrong. I'm telling stories to myself. I let you go on far too long. You repeat yourself and you know you're wrong. Shoosh. My words of reason go unsaid. As you put the squeeze on, the pressure fills my head. Shoosh. I don't want to know. I don't want to think this. I want to let go. Shoosh. Please let me sleep. Please let me forget it. Let's bury it deep. Shoosh.
