Melancholy
I could not pretend anymore
I was a victim of my own mind
The cobwebs were infested with tiny dots
That grew bigger and rolled down
Like tear drops in slow motion
With no boundry lines travelling
Leaving a grey streak across my cheek
Feeling hot and humiliated and worn
This intense feeling of being overwhelmed
Feeling defeated with no respite in sight
The sleepless nights the fragmented dreams
The million pin pricks all over inside
That sinking feeling surfacing again
The food tasting like pieces of paper
Chewing slowly but just cant swallow
Stuck to a spot with just a blank look
Legs tied down with heavy anchors
Cant be placed on the floor
Time has no value anymore.
