Embrace the Chaos
by Steph Reis '20

The little voice inside my head
Started as a whisper but turned into a shout
Like a hurricane trapped in my brain
Begging, Screaming to get out
Embrace the Chaos in your Mind

I felt stuck in place
As if ivy wrapped around my body
Around my soul
And held me to the ground
No longer could I contain the beast
It had broken its cage door

Like a bucket of paint spilling on the floor
The mess had begun to take form
Waves upon waves of thoughts, ideas, memories
Breaking free for I could no longer suppress them
Something inside me took hold
I could not move or speak
Only feel the insanity gain control

And still
But a whisper once more
The words rang in my head
As if they had been branded into my soul
Embrace the Chaos in your Mind
