The Muddled Thoughts of the Chronically Ill

"Please Brain, Calm Down"

A brain on fire,

Constantly awake,

Screaming for attention,

Crying out in pain.

Shhh...Just a quick nap

                Please.

Shut the pain down.

But wake me up.

Let me think....

                Clearly

Let me Awaken.....

                Without pain

Let me run....

                Without restraints

Just this once,

Brain...

Please,

I beg of you.
