(ir)(rational)

written by: Alyssa Brocker

@Atelgy

for me there’s always been a

 fine line

                                                      be                                tween
Rational
&
Irrational

                                       thoughts

most of the time
I can recognize the
difference

most of the time

                                                    rational            &           irrational

stay in their
place

(but)

 my anxiety likes those thoughts
together

rationalirrationalrationalirrational

they run together
confusing me
until my head is
pounding
&
I don’t know whether to
scream,
cry,
or lie down on my
bathroom floor
&
never get up again
&
FUCK

I just want all this thinking to

                                      stop.
