Neurosis
/I’m so neurotic
That I attempt
To dissect
Said neurosis
In real time
If you
Find me
Staring into the abyss
Chances are
I’m stuck in a loop
Debating
Against myself
Attempting to ascertain
The best way to relax
Knowing that
Undertaking that very attempt
Is itself not helpful
Yet I’m nonetheless
Unable to stop
Not until
I know
I have exhausted all possibilities
Of contemplation
And in the process
Exhausted myself
Enough
So that I can sleep
Long enough
To do it all again
Tomorrow
