Metaphor
<html>
<p>Sometimes my mind gets ahead of me.</p>
<p>Sometimes my thoughts are a raging ocean I can't control.</p>
<p>There are so many things in this world.</p>
<p>All of them vying for my attention.</p>
<p>All screaming my name until my ears are bleeding rivers.</p>
<p>They block out my sight and crowd my vision.</p>
<p>Some people can't see the forest for the trees,</p>
<p>But I can't see life for the distractions.</p>
<p>Some nights I lie awake and ponder,&nbsp;</p>
<p>What would it be like to silence those voices.</p>
<p>To clear the trees.</p>
<p>But then again, it wouldn't be a forest,</p>
<p>If it were silent and barren.</p>
<p>Maybe i'm writing down my thoughts,</p>
<p>Because they're too loud.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Or writing away my issues,</p>
<p>Because they finally caught up to me.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Or maybe these words don't exist at all.</p>
<p>Maybe they're just similes and metaphors&nbsp;</p>
<p>Built on a whole lot of nothing.</p>
