Imagine you have just fallen off a cliff,
But oddly enough, you survive.
You’ve plummeted into the icy artic ocean.
Where your deep in its darkness,
Struggling to find the light.
You swim to the surface,
But the ice has frozen over,
Trapping you inside.
You bang erratically trying to break free,
But there’s no way out. You’re drowning.
You realize the dire situation,
Though you know its no use, you can’t help but fight.
Every cell in your body is on fire.
You feel as though your heart is breaking through your skin.
You want to give up, but it won’t let you quit.
You know you’re dying but at the same time you’ve never felt more awake and aware.
Every sense is heightened to the point unbearable.
You’re trapped and alone.
Constantly awaiting the relief of death that never comes.
This is a glimpse inside,
What it feels like day by day,
To have a poisoned mind.
A mind cursed with the disease of disquietude.
