Of Sound Mind

Thoughts crawling through the floor boards 

As if they were thousands of little tiny spiders

I'm not going to trust you just because you want me to

Because when it comes down to it, I can't trust you

I can't let you pull me apart like too hot bread you just pulled out of the oven

Because I am not something you can consume and pretend

Like you didn't take everything I have

I'm not your phone, you can't pull me out and use me when it pleases you

I am not yours!

I never will be!

Because you never need me 

You never see me

I am invisable

Transparent

I

Am

A

Ghost

I

AM

A

GHOST

I'm so caught up in my mind

Lost in a different time

Get me out

Get 

Me

Out

GET 

ME

OUT

I want to come home

Because right now, I'm so lonley

Please just hold me

I'm supposed to be of sound mind

But right now?

Everything stopped

Nothing but the sound of white noise fills my ears

Then it becomes clear

I don't belong here

I find it endearing

This is so bleak

I can't feel my feet

Where am I?

Where 

Am 

I

?

I'm slipping away

I'm slipping    A
