Premiere Contest WinnerUnraveled Mind

The stitches begin to unravel
               The seams are tearing apart
                     Arteries bursting within a heart
                           Through insanity the mind travels

          Unable to grasp the sincerity
                Through a kaleidoscope of fears
                      Drowning within rivers of tears
                            Thoughts no longer have clarity

           Living like a garden vegetable
                       Dreaming of being an intellectual
