Stuck
You wake up!
Mind racing.
Every breath labored
Every sound exaggerated.
What is wrong?
You ask yourself
As you feel your head spinning
And every memory running
Soon enough
As you open every asinine wound
Every step gets you wound
For help, you look around.
You notice tears rolling
Your pulse racing
On every small trigger
And wish for all your rigour

You tell yourself
It’s going to be okay
But when it’s your forty second foray
Faith and hope melt within itself
You turn to hedonism
You turn to apathy
You seek a status quo
On a ship sailing to heaven
But your heart steps in
Seeking your revival
It holds onto one strand of hope
And pulls you out of the spiral
Suddenly, you’re calm
Breathing slowly
Vetting your thoughts thoroughly
One step at a time
Then…
You wake up!
