Stress Induced Psychosis

In the quiet, darkened corners of the mind/ Where shadows stretch and twist, emotions bind/ Lies a land where peace is hard to find/ Admist the chaos, stress leaves us blind/ Psychosis weaves it's tale of fear and doubt/ Illusions bloom, and reasons fade out/ The world distorts, perceptions fall askew/ A fragile grip on reality breaks through/ Voices whisper secrets in the night/ Haunting dreams take away the light/ Innocent thoughts become monstrous and cruel/ And reason slips away, like water from a pool/ Stress, restless, tightens it's fierce embrace/ Driving heart and mind to frantic pace/ Seizures strike, like lightning in the storm/ A body's plead for peace, a soul's reform/ The breath catches, gasping, panic fills the air/ The struggle, gasping, drowning in despair/ Yet heartbeat steady, blood pressure remains/ A mystery that defies the body's claim/ Admist the tumult, seek the gentle touch/ Of understanding hearts that offer much/ For in the sharing, healing can begin/ And in the darkness, light will surely win/ So to my doctor, these words now impart/ May empathy and care guide their way/ To help find solace, and brighter days/
