Depersonalization/rumination OCD awareness (Tortured Mind)
Tortured mind
Tortured soul
Where am I?
Where to go?
Always on the run
With no road
Where is paradise?
Oasis That’s safe
How to live?
How to replace?
Scared of the end
Not of death
Artificial life
Until my last breathe
Can I live as me?
Debating if feelings bad?
Took that for granted
Now I’ll never have
Miss the feelings
Meaningless and good
Overthink it all
Probably should
Memories will flood back
First good then bad
Aren’t we all at least a little sad?
To broken to express
Keep me mind busy
Do I have a choice?
I’m am sick of mind
Not having a voice
I’ve tried writing before, telling tales of my self
All in analogies
Not knowing what else
Too cluttered or cliched
Not much else to say
I don’t mean to victimize
But I know pain
Surfaces always blurry
Anxious and hurried
Here I stand
No a stagnant ground
What is my mind
Well it’s quite profound
Useless and random
The info it provides
I am just a body
My soul is the hive
Nonsensical
Focused on angles
There I see where I was perfect in my choice
Though I know I’m not
I have no other choice
He said he’ll taunt
Emotions are hostage
And soon I’ll leave
I wish someone knew
Exactly what I mean.

Liked your poem Jack. A lot of it resonated with me, really know what it's like to feel like you described. Anyway, be well and strong brother and remember things do clear up and get easier after you give yourself the right space and time to heal and reflect.
Keep up with the poetry!
