How does one survive the brink of madness? Seems impossible to describe my throes… I can touch god but just as quick, The rug pulled from my feet, the wool over my eyes
How does one survive the brink of madness?
I am worthy of nothing, an “it” to despise Longing to rid this disguise Terrified no one will oblige The double edge sword we all parade
The bed we’ve made Too comfortable to escape Trapped by delusions My gut aches
Conditioned to swallow the pills My voice, a diminished 7th, shrills I betray myself convinced I am serving I wage a war against the pacifist in me
Knowing acceptance is half the battle I leap… Mesmerized by faith Cradled in waves
I surrender, Embrace.
