Burnt Out

I feel burning

in my brain

of ideas and thoughts

the pressure to connect the dots

Time is ticking

I hear screaming

run, you better run

RUN

I seek for doors

or windows

that are unlocked

so I can escape

evacuate

from this block

can you hear me?

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

HELP.

I scream

and I scream

and I scream

Till my voice is hoarse

and my soul is flooded with remorse

Of all the time I had

Of all the time I lost

I did not escape

I did not get away

Am I burnt out?

Or am I just lost

in a sea of fire

that I surrendered

Am I burnt out?

There is no doubt

I brought all of these

to myself

Am I burnt out?

Ashes, I become

I am burnt out.
