Step Inside of Madness

Something I wrote describing how depression can lead to feeling miserably mad.

As I awake into a brand new brew

Starting to feel the mind in the blue

Of all the thoughts I thought I knew

The mind splinters and hazy in view

 

Felt the steps underneath my feet

As a tired restless soul I so keep

And damning confusion I do weep

Stumbling lazy throughout the keep

 

And every once and a great while

I feel numb impede on my style

Desperate gasps exit out every mile

Trying to fight with elusive guile

 

Dousing the flame I thought I would

As hallow eyes shut from the could

A mind breaks splintering as wood

While hurting feet bruised as I stood

 

So nothing comes to gather in my soul

A fleeting glimpse of a world so cold

Depression sinks into the cracks of mold

Falling into oblivion that takes its hold

 

Never will I be able to so steady stand

As muscles shake on through the hands

Sleep will elude me on every other brand

Stepping outside to watch the empty land
