The squeezing of my brain
Triggers an urge to collapse,
Closing my eyes as I enter
A sleep I might never wake from;
Negativity says resistance is pointless,
For what I dread is bound to happen,
But I refuse to believe it;
I won't let my enemy take me hostage,
Indenturing me to lifelong slavery,
For I have a life to live,
A plethora to live for,
Goals awaiting fulfillment;
My wish is absolution from
The sadness siphoning my energy;
If only I could silence my mind,
The negative thoughts waiting in line
Would have no choice but to turn back,
Only to spread so thin
They aerosolize into microns,
Negligible for host entry.
