Therapy Bits

For this week’s Thursday inspiration prompt, Jim Adam’s has given us the word mind. So I came up with this poem, about losing my mind. Here is my response, enjoy!

❤

In twisted thoughts, I wander wide-eyed and lost,

As fragments of sanity are slowly closed,

The threads of reason snap, like brittle twine,

And in the void, a darkness starts to shine.

My mind, a maze of mirrored halls and doors,

Reflecting every fear, every bitter score,

Echoes of memories, like whispers low,

Haunting me, with secrets I don’t know.

The world outside recedes, a distant haze,

As I descend into the depths of daze,

A kaleidoscope of madness spins around,

Colors blurring, sounds become a muffled sound.

I try to grasp the edges of my mind,

But they slip away, like sand between my fingers left behind,

The silence grows, a deafening roar,

As I lose my grip, and tumble to the floor.

In this labyrinth of my own design,

I’m trapped, with no escape, no clue to align,

The fragments of my thoughts, a jigsaw’s pieces lie,

And I’m left with nothing but a question why.

Will I find my way out of this darkest night?

Or forever roam, lost in this endless fight?

Only time will tell, as I succumb to the void,

And my mind, once sharp, becomes a distant hum.
