My thoughts are incoherent,
Everything is blurred together.
Nothing in my head makes sense.
I'm stuck in my thoughts
While they also feel empty.
The rumination of some topics,
While not remembering others,
Is very painful for me.
I would rather ruminate
About stuff that will help me.
My future feels screwed up
Because I can't remember stuff that will help.
I can only remember stuff that I would rather forget,
With everything I don't need
Staying confusing and incoherent.
