Superficially Challenged

It disappears in a glimmer
The surroundings grow dimmer
Sun starts fading away
Blue skies turn to gray
Cannot seem to keep focus
Change it all with just some hocus pocus
On a downhill path to self destruction
Ignoring all guidance or instruction
Fighting an endless battle to stay sane
Common sense is pouring down the drain
Wanting something solid to trust
Crumbles away and blows with the dust
Internal bleeding inside this heart
Searching for some point to restart
Consuming to just maintain control
Why does life seem so superficial
