• disorder
    numbed and drained
    sapped of fecund thoughts
    this trajectory maimed
    by chemical imbalance
    adrenalin un-detained

    a fear awakened from slumber
    assumed gone but remained
    a re-occurring nightmare
    leaving sheets sweat stained
    a fragile wall smashed

    in floods the anxiety and pain
    drowning the once strong bliss
    a cycle retold with disdain
    after each blissful verse
    this endlessly repeated refrain

    my spine flushed
    radiating out my extremities
    paralyzing
    lifting me out of body
    embracing anguish unspoken
