It crawls into the mind.
Late at night,
and attacks the
subconscious
From nightmares and
anxiety
to paranoia,
the mind fights a battle
only to lose and
gets subdued.

Been there before;
but
here we go again.

The distortions of the
mind stinging
like pieces of glass
stuck in the heart.

There are glimpses of
an unsettling rage,
repression of vicious
memories, and a
deliberate attempt to
avoid the distressed state.

Leads to fragmentation of
the mind Into bits and
pieces of the urge and
lack of motion.

The memories play a trick
on the mind.
Doesn’t let you unwind.
It traps you into the
continuum cycle of psychosis
like a spiral staircase
to doom.

Either you fight or you flee.
There’s never an
easy way out
because
time is ticking out.

The old self is subsumed in
the darkness of the past,
and the new one feels like
a shadow or an outcast.
