Mental Illness

MENTAL ILLNESS Darker clouds appear more so near, spirit sympathy and mind in empathy ponder, thoughts a haze of past future days, a mental candle aura, flickers 'n' wilts in wonder. This shadowy sickness, creep 'n' seep, seeking capture, no rest nor sleep, until it claims it's mentory. Tick clock a sick daze in time, a senseless silent song, having no rhyme, misperceptions giving directions, trapped in a cryptic mindful maze, thoughts in different mindful waves and ways. Where now tomorrow, how what to follow, battling a hidden sickness, Mental Illness
