Closing In
In the race that is my mind I can't seem to find a pace Acid burning in my core It is closing in Helpless as it crawls Slowly but certainly I turn away again Which option will make this stop? Bounties aplenty for those responsible Endurance of this torture - always beyond forever The cycles within cycles The disconnecting of my brain Futility the common solution A daily creeping of dread It is closing in Helpless as it crawls Slowly but certainly I turn away again The flashings of mortality Like blasts from the sun The realization ever present Panic overcomes & disables Distractions are completely gone Crystal clear in my eyes The walls of the world have fallen - for this final time The future pinned beneath them - buried way down deep To rise is to crumble - My failures displayed Into multiple desperate piles
