Colossal Silhouette

These thoughts paint my mind
dizzying and distorted,
a victim of me;

Shadows take your shape 
sitting stuck lodged in my throat;
Hallucinations;

More often than not 
larger than they really are, 
running on nothing; 

Ever expanding 
like this lump suffocating,   
I am left swallowed;

Blinking back the illusion, 
a colossal silhouette.
