Euphoric Hysteria

Bewildering panic
Consumes me
Feeling the pounding
Of my racing heart
On the edge of insanity
Falling to my death
Yet I continue down this
Path of self destructiveness
To resurrect the corpse 
That lives inside me

Running in circles
No way out of the maze
Of deception and lies
In which I am trapped 
Reality blurred
Living in a fantasy
Only an illusion of escape
Never breaking free
Looking in the mirror
But, ignoring the truth 
That's staring back at me
