Paranoia
Silence, the calm before the storm
it’s louder than all of life at a scream
Draining, driving, condecending
Ready to shake this confidence
Cannot measure the pressure
Like steam it floats so lightly, highly
Raising the temperature
This is the calm before the storm
Paralyzing
Calm before the storm
Paranoia
Ill conceived tranquility
Calm before the storm
Uncomposed, uneasy stillness
Silence
Sonorous silence
And it’s not quite right
Fear
Leaching sycophant
Crawling subterfuge
Under my skin

Fear
Fear
Something comes this way
Debasing
Crumbling the mind
Fear
A loaded gun
Desperate
To take down whatever may come

Panic

Panic
Sights and sounds assumptions made into fact
Mental catastrophe crawling quickly up the back
Sudden event leaves its dent no way to retract
The body and mind at one time under attack
Tactic of an over stimulated mind
3 blind eyes try to push it all aside
Assisting the body as it tries to find
The numbness it needs and methods to deny
Invisible autopsy (instant autopsy)
Anesthetic fills the empty
Numbs the body spares the mind
Leaves it to compute and race time
Eyes darting around looking for sanctuary
Broken record in the head repeating this can’t be
Hoping the sensory is only imaginary
In comes the sharpest reality
Could never be ready for this

Confusion

Confusion
Confusion unstable unable to compute
Signals crossfire the brain-drive/hard-drive won’t reboot
Complete database of emotions
All fields active simultaneously
In a separate window opens the notion
System struggling along needlessly
Simplification requested
Simplify
Choose one

Frustration
Out of a desire to simplify
A little bit of anger, the question why?
A swarm of emotions have been set aside
Stomped out or simply denied
Review, relive with such vividness
Wade around kicking the fractured mess
What will it mean? What can be done?
Agitation high, solutions none
The mind addressed by many guests
But none are welcome here
Turn them all away only one can stay
Frustration takes the place of fear
That stands the focus, but no answers to why
None of these thoughts so far satisfy
Keep waiting and frustrating open an eager eye
Hope understanding is at the back of the line
Situation, sickness and mental strain
Thoughts so sharp they hurt the brain
Facts, torn edges, forced connection
Studied under light, undergoes dissection
Gotta let go
Relax the grip that binds the mind
to understand just need to
need to release
need realize

Realization

Realization
The assumption was wrong
Swamp of a stomach settled acid rain
No external body in motion the heart’s beating sustains
Feelings peaked crawling down organs wound up tight
Like internal roaches that scatter with the light
Unnecessary reaction
Let the light go out
scaring sickness away
Let the torment leave with the light
Bring closure to this day

Calm

Calm
The volume of the world has been turned down
All the clutter is fading
Gentle puddles begin to wash away
All feelings that were grating
Daytime nightmare has since faded
A setting sun
A beautiful drifting calm
The red lights inside now seem so dim
From the agitation of the initial notion
As thoughts begin to dilute and stray
Cradled by waves in this mental ocean
|

Weariness

Weariness
Timelessness
Time less important than this being
No need to be anywhere any more
No need to fret
These fetters will not uprise
Crashing waves cradle
Deep blue weariness carries
down to sleep
don’t really mind
Panicking bag of bones is transient, transcending
Helium now above the tedium
Floating in this timelessness
Time less important than this weariness

Sleep

Sleep
Softly melt into sleep
Softly melt into silence
