Smoke Out the Darkness

Turn off,

Shut down,

Quiet the noise.

Racing hypotheticals,

Over analyzing paralysis.

Can't keep up,

Block out,

Find peace,

Establish sanity.

Manual override,

Just a moment's calm.

Gimmie vices,

Sweet double-edged serenity.

Toxic in all ways

But calm.

Inhale

Forced relaxation.

Long term effects be

Damned for short term relief.

Push out darkness

Surrounded by clouds.

Anxiety,

Insanity,

Neuroses,

Combated by different

Darkness.

Haze my friend.

Not clarity,

Just distraction.

Momentary respite to

Step away from the edge.

Neurological chaos not

Seen through

Self-injected poison.

Silence before

Another storm.

Breathe...
