Unconsciousness

Cast away in a different state of mind
Forgotten in the eternal spinning of life
Inhibitions dissipating like smoke
While all emotions scurry and hide
Poisoning myself over and over again
Escalating to the point of nothingness

Suddenly something creeps up from behind
Flashes of resentment penetrate the fortress
Meanings obscuring the loss of judgment
Feeling the dread in the back of my throat
Caught in a perilous trap of my own design

The neurotic energy coursing through veins
As the monster rears its sinister head to laugh
I discreetly go away to puke in the bushes

Forced to take a retrospective look back
In the moment of clarity i'm grateful for relief
Though shame slowly approaches my soul

Is it all really worth it?
I truly don't know
