"Catatonic"
  by Mr. RTJ


So lost in thought
So much is seen
Yet not one image in sight
Fishing in the river of the mind for direction
Just praying for a bite
Maybe even a slight nibble
A simple or little hint
But I don’t want to force it
I want it to be done consensually
Maybe it will come together full circle
Maybe eventually

So many personal goals
So many business ventures
Excursions and adventures
These become stifled by censors
While sense pours out constant dreams but leaves me a void
Leaves me annoyed from the current
Stuck trying to become untangled
Stuck in a mangled thought process
Entrapment led by ideas of a release
Now
Being trapped in those thoughts of escape
The great debate
Where am I escaping from?
Where am I escaping to?

Ten minutes in this mind
Seems as ten years in a labyrinth
An elaborate scheme it would seem keeps me from getting anywhere
Never knowing when
Never knowing where
Never knowing when I’ll be taken where
Tired from running my fastest race
Yet my feet remain right in place
Whilst the mind runs spirals in a vortex
A black hole
Seen in a blank stare
So much inside that there is no motion out
Stagnant from an overabundance of demands from plans for an atomic fate
Ideas paralyzing the body in a catatonic state

i like the feel of this poem. you basically describe someone whose emotionally running a marathon while physically is just standing still. you got me feeling like i just stepped into the twilight zone while reading this. very interesting. ~Stoykes

Wow. Know how this feels. My mind NEVER quits grindin'. Rarely changes speeds. Can be frustrating to have such an abundance of thoughts @ tmes. Excellent!
