Your mind is so crazy

But I don’t have anyone to talk to
Other than you

You know all of my thoughts
And keep me company

When the lights are down
You keep me safe
By constantly
Filling
Me with thoughts
And reminders

It’s hard to be productive with you around
And this device that

Sucks me in
And spits me out
With nothing left to

Give
To the actual
People in my life

My brain craves more
Of your nonsense

Looking for waiting
For something of value

That will make
Me chuckle
Or feel relevant

But I have to keep a 9–5 to
Pay for this rectangle

That steals my energy,
Creativity
And makes me feel more inferior
That I’m not on my hands and
Knees with
