Distractions abound outside my head

distractions abound
outside my head
sneaking, seeping
infesting my state

twenty four seven
wired, I’m amped
nervous excitement
anxious refrain

trespassed the limits
my body manual warned
surpassed the speed
my heart’s pump set

I’m high on noise
distractions my fix
sniffing every bit
injecting the stream

I need intervention
clinic for connected
fasting on silence (or)
altar, cave, grave
