Lost


Troubling thoughts unwind like a serpent 
And I let the reality slip into unseen horrors
Friends and foes are equally forgotten
And what remains is a deep fear

Anxiety runs wild like a racing car
The pit in my stomach burns hard
Guilt creeps over me like a worm
It's a fathomless hole of misery

It's eating my conscience day by day
The lethargic energy that's pulsing through me
Making me feel so helpless 
And guilty of the things I should be doing

I am scared I am losing it
The thin and delicate thread of sanity 
That connects me to the outside world
And keeps me in “acceptable” norms

And here I sit wondering about yesterday's me
Who could spin word spirals with joyful precision 
And dream happy confident dreams 
I guess that me is dead, at least for today!
