Deep Into the Narrative

I'm falling I feel me slipping a little each day Slipping deep into the internal narrative I'm just one thought away It could have been spurred on by a sight Or a distinct smell in the air Something I touched A strong sense that triggered me to care My emotions alert me The thoughts begin to grab hold I create a narrative An internal dialogue that seems to freely flow I must remember, it's not the situation or people that bothers me It's how deep into the narrative I go When I stop the dialogue Is when I gain control
