Troubled State of Mind

I feel somber and distressed.
Life is unpredictable added with stress.

And yet, at times; daily life is monotonous.
Blithe indifference to anyones lewdness.

Feeling dysphoric laden with despair.
Trying to hang on; why should I care?

Dancing with intrusive thoughts of a permanent end.
Sinking in quicksand my mind slowly descends.

Really there is no rhyme; or no reason..
For my state of mind; of its own treason.

Fighting on the grounds of the "mental battlefield".
Dropping my guard; defenseless without my shield.

Taking another step in this muddle-headed land "mind".
Unexplainably  made me feel somewhat repined.

Trapped in this existence and the next...
Why does this "reality" have to be so perplexed?

A troubled mind barters with trials and tribulations.
Always wondering aimlessly full of unanswered questions.
