Tears of gasoline
August 6, 2021
Mind’s gears twist and turn
Chains hold like metal fetters
The engine of my feelings runs
With fuel and toxic letters
The meter goes over the limit
Overwhelming speed of thoughts
But I’m exhausted In just minutes
Left stranded nowhere, joyous distraught
Alone yet still with myself
What is this, a body or a machine?
Hot and heating, I’m overwhelmed
We both cried tears of gasoline

I'm 16 and I love to write whether it's stories or poems. I express my thoughts and feelings and specifically those I cannot express physically. I write about social issues and circumstances prevailing our world today.
This poem was written to highlight anxiety. Various symptoms like sweating, Heart palpitations, overwhelming thoughts, crying spells, intrusive thoughts, etc.
Our minds run like cars as if life's a race. But we forget to realize that our mind dies with our body, but our souls live on. So who bothers to see if our souls make it past the finishing line of the light of dawn?
