Swirling thoughts

causing chaos in my head

Leaving destruction in its path

Debris consisting of my past 

Left scattered

Left broken

 

My head filled with TV-like static

Never staying on one show

Never giving me the time 

To appreciate the little things 

The plots

The characters

 

 

Somehow something calmed the storm

Someone 

Even if it's for a brief moment 

It provides time to appreciate 

The characters

The story lines 

 

The howling winds 

Turning into soft hoots

The sharp air of melancholy

Becoming little rain drops 

Against the windows

 

The thoughts now subsided 

Leaving me with clarity 

Leaving me to appreciate 

The character who saved me 

from myself...
