First Mental Shutdown
My mind was nothing but a blur.
A blur that has never hit me like this.
The type of blur you see when you had just awoken,
And your eyes hurt from turning on the lights.
A blur that will leave you bewildered for long periods of time.
My mind wasn’t able to do the things it had used to do.
Such as an animal being abducted from its home,
And being imprisoned in a zoo.
Putting fear in me,
Like the same fear I had when I was three years old,
And it was my first day of school.
But this blur took away my intelligence,
And made me feel like a fool.
But what I feared was losing the ability to think
Because let me tell you something,
I wasn’t able to establish full sentences in my head,
Comprehend the things that were being said to me,
Or read a paragraph that would probably be in the third grade level
Because I would feel as if my conscious has been worked too hard.
The next day I woke up I was back to normal,
But questioned what I’ve experienced
Because my mind had fallen to the ground of my skull
As if it had been cut down.
Minutes later I had an epiphany,
That I’ve just been through my first mental shutdown.
