The Mind

Does the mind ever shut down? Does it always feel  as if it runs faster than the speed of light? Mine quickly jumps from thought to thought constantly bringing up another anxiety, memory, want or need. It often yells louder than the outside world. It makes me feel out of control because the unending lists it continues to make.

One second my mind is thinking of how things once were. What I was doing a year ago and the year before that. It compares itself to previous times. Always analyzing if success is reached. Moments it misses what I once had and other seconds it is dreaming of what is yet to come. The mind is a complex place. If someone could ever read mine it would be a jumbled mess of half thoughts forgotten in the race of life.

The mind is the Energizer bunny that truly never stops going and going. Often times I wish for just second it could shut up and I could just be. The more silence that surrounds me the more my mind speaks to me. Often times only leaving me more confused than before. It seems to have little direction or understanding of where it is leading me.
