Breakdown

By emily2u | From the Heart | 29 Dec 2020


In the middle of a dream,
I awoke in a scream.
There’s a possibility,
I’m losing touch with reality.

Society will frown
Upon my mental breakdown.
It’s not easy to explain
The urge to jump out of a plane.

Head bursts with the least noise,
Grit my teeth against a grating voice.
My nerves are exposed,
Don’t have a night’s repose.

Quivering under the boiling sun,
To nowhere can I run.
This ailment is ruining my life,
Slowly eating me alive.
