Illness

Each night- crawling through my hallucinations. 

Alone in my loss of inhibitions. 

A thunderous panic attack. 

Would turn me silent. My ears are all static. 

Frenzied and heightened. 

Each day is a chance to become enlightened. 

But with a fresh blackout each day. 

I would lose time- and shadows would sway. 

Every alternative seems worse. 

As if behind each door there is a new curse. 

There is a renewed numbness after each thrill. 

Reality churns and I become more ill!
