Restless Mind

Walk through the streets on a silent day.
Everything is empty and I hate the way…
Sound reflects like this place is ill.
Is this a dream or am I falling?

Don’t turn out that light.
I cannot take the night.
Things crawl across my skin.
Forever feel my world spin.
Pressure builds within my ears.
Cause of my mounting fears.

I’m in freefall.
Brain has long stalled.
Feel like I’m trapped.
Sure I’ve just cracked.

Get me out, I cannot breathe.

Locked in a room that I don’t recognise.
Is this real or have I fashioned more lies?
Cannot decide so I remain in place.
Paralysed, I can’t take this space.

Don’t turn out that light.
I cannot take the night.
Things crawl across my skin.
Forever feel my world spin.
Pressure builds within my ears.
Cause of my mounting fears.

I’m in freefall.
Brain has long stalled.
Feel like I’m trapped.
Sure I’ve just cracked.

Get me out, I cannot breathe.

Signature scrawled across this page.
Was I the one who was so brave?
Cannot tell and so I retreat.
Yet again I’m feeling weak.
Give me hope, get me out.
Cage fills me with doubt.
My own prison formed in my head.
If only I could go back and find my bed.
Safety and security.
Maybe sleep might fix this insanity.
For I’ve been awake for a week.
Delirium will not admit defeat.
So my mind is now in tatters.
Too much longer and it shatters.

Get me out, I cannot breathe!
