Mind overload

Mind overload
I need to get out
of myself
of my mind
But how?
Where?

Stumbling
Rambling
Don't know where this road is going
Was there a fork back there
that I missed?
Or is it up ahead
A small path
leading off
meandering
in the woods
To where?
To hope?
To happiness?
Home?
I'll just miss it anyways

If I sleep
will I dream?
Will the world be perfect
or just another wasted hope?

Sleep
Blessed sleep
Blissful and quiet
like a wintry forest
covered in a blanket of white
Nothing lives there
nothing dies there
it just is
Is that where the path goes to?

The path is in my head
It wants to break out
Hammering
Throbbing
Confusing

If I let it out
to go where it wants
Will you walk it with me?
