Seizure
seizure
The pages flipped as the words wrapped around my brain
Like a rainbowed hurricane
Faster the colors embedded inside of my head
While I shook in bed
An intake of breath
After I lay awake from my fitful rage
Locked in a cage
Stuck in an eternal dance of death
Demonic forces lay only waiting to be awakened.
My nerves still remain unshakened
Only wanting to escape
Seeing through new eyes that only see distorted shapes
Clarity
Lost in my own disparity
I'm binded to this nightmare
serenity is my one and only prayer
In this game I am the one and only player
The shoots and ladders lead me further into my own isolation
Numbness is the only sensation
Sleep is my only medication
Searching for the escape route
This loneliness I could do without
Full of my own uncertainty and doubt
Is this a sign
From the devine
To a time where control was mine
Will all change in time?
Waiting for our hands to become intertwined
Pulled out from the deep recluse of my mind
You rescued me
My thoughts no longer askewed
The inner workings no longer feud
Clarity has found me
