Thoughts
Thoughts encroaching on my life
Darkness pressing further and further
My heart beats faster
My breathing gets shallow and erratic
My eyes dart back and forth before closing
I knit my brow
I Begin to panic
"Was it wrong?"
"Am I a weirdo"
"Should I have done that"
I can't think straight
My mind is spinning and racing
My eyes are fluttering open and shut
As I spiral downward
Further and further into the rabbit hole I fall
This wonderland isn't so fun though
Intrusive thoughts overwhelming me
Darkness swallowing all the light
By the time I see a little flicker of positivity it's 3:30am and I have to wake up at 6am
I pull myself together and fall asleep after many attempts of silencing my thoughts
I get them to quiet into a low hum at the back of my mind and somehow I drift to sleep
-A.M. Witzing
