Chaotic Mind Poem by Fareez Phalez

A turmoil; of misery, pain and anger
All at once on a night I struggle to sleep
Wide awake in my bed under my blanket
I clench my fists and grit my teeth

Insomnia entertained by a late night show
Eyes distracted by a mind screening visions
From things I dwell on to things I wish for
All produced by these mixed emotions

I hate how I can't help it but to hurt myself
With totally no intentions to be unkind
I try to achieve peace with my eyes closed
But what's a calm night for a chaotic mind
