Inside a Broken mind

narrative verse

 

Broken mind

 

I’m trapped inside a broken mind.

Where I am deaf and dumb and blind.

Sometimes I know that I am me

at other times absorbed completely.

 

I lose touch with reality.

I’m someone else no longer me.

 Chaotic thoughts go whirling past

 but thankfully it does not last

 

In moments of lucidity

I know that soon I will break free

I will regain my sanity.

A hope I cling to stubbornly.

 

I’ll find a way to gain control

and make my wilful thoughts obey.

Reintegrate an become whole,

desperately I seek the way.

 

I break loose from this night mare scene

and realise that it has been.

A dreadful dream which held me fast

but now I am awake at last.

 

I make myself a soothing drink

 and for a while I sit and think.

The details fade I grow less tense.

 My conscious mind in self defence.

 

Wipes clean my short term memory

 of anything which seems to be.

Part of the dream that frightened me.

From which I struggled to break free.

 

It was a weird experience

which even now makes little sense.

Only vague memories remain

of what its like to be insane.

There seems to often be a fine line between the two. Well expressed - nice cadence as always. Thank you for sharing your talent.
