Jumbled Words

Big scary mosnters

Gigantic black clouds

A prison of pain

A lifelong battle never won.

Trying to swim upstream, frigid water, breath raspy.

Constant hum of fear. Shiver of fright, electric wakefulness.

Tears that won’t fall, numb to the feelings. Words stuck in the throat.

Sadness tapping away in all the corners of my mind.

Confusion and isolation.

Disconnected from the reality right in front of me.

Meaning has fallen away, and my grip is weakening to every waking moment.

Hopelessness to an eternity of pain.

No escape, no reprieve, no breath to calm.

Frazzled seconds, to tortured hours, and a mountain of day to climb.
