Droplets

The steady stream of water droplets

Disturbing calm waters

Forever unrelenting

Chaos

Confusion

Anxiety

I forgot about my laundry!

Noise

Insomnia

What was that word again?

The ripples collide together

Thoughts intruding upon thoughts

They said to me

"Slow down" "How many times do you need reminding?!" "Stop being lazy!"

How?

When the tasks piled and piled as the drops rained down

Faster than before

I can't move Why am I like this?

What was I supposed to be doing?

Why is everyone laughing? What's with the weird looks?

I'm so tired

Reality slips my mind wanders

"SHIT!"

Brake lights, a crash from behind

Fear pushes in

I need help

Doctors? Therapy? Medication?

The droplets slowed

The waters calmed

Then there was

One

Drop

At
