Such a Strange Time

The last few weeks have left me damaged and advancing. 

This whole year feels estranged and altered- my scars are now dancing.

I have the knowledge, but not the ability-

I can’t discern between the progression of time, and the delusions that will one day feel silly. 

But for now, my laughs are only from distress. 

As I turn cold from lack of rest. 

Please, someone, follow me to a different time. 

A year ago before the pain turned my memories to slime. 

I can only exist in what I can recollect. 

My scattered sanity will one day reconnect.

But for now, the present is not intact. 

Until I am brought back to life by a panic attack.
