My brain is buzzing
always looking for something
big or small
to keep it flying, floating
never resting

I devour information
from morning to night
The hunger never pauses
the torment always there
tingling the back of my neck

My body may be still
but thoughts race on
Miles and miles
The places I could reach
if my feet matched my mind

No medal I earn or words of praise
shine bright enough 
to illuminate the path
where accomplishment
and contentment always outpace me
