Have you ever felt trapped

inside your own mind

only to see the world in foggy haze?

have you ever felt your heart race

in a rush only to find yourself

lost in an endless maze?

have you ever awaken with a jolt

in the middle of the night

trying to catch a breath

to consume in your internal fight?

have you tried to seize the hour

slow down the pace of exhaustion?

have you felt worthless

unwanted

your mind in ultimate distortion?

 

bear with me my friend,

my shields are broken

my oars sail to no shore

and every word I have spoken

sends shivers to my core;

I am fragile

allow me to collect my pieces

I am volatile

my worry never eases;

this I tell you now

as tomorrow I may not speak

I may have gone feeble

too weak to withstand

the attack

but I will never cease to be

I will forever fight back.
