1 second:
my mind drags my languid body across the tundra of insanity
my eyes focused on a space
a blurry shape focused
something in between reality and the real world
2 seconds:
roles of films show screenplays flickering across my mind, lighting up possibilities of what could go wrong
One goes by, and the film starts again running over and over
as the films play, I slowly drown in a sea of attacks
1,000 feet, my world spins
2,000 feet, my world fades
3,000 feet, my world becomes red, blocking the rest of the colors of the world
preventing the peace of the world into sight
4,000 feet, my soul mending into an entity with no right of way
it drifts upwards as I drift away
3 seconds:
my mind becomes the phantom
black, hollow, clustered, dreadful, worrisome
following my hollow body, swarming with words
creeping up behind me, people pass in blurs
their energy sweeps me up, fills me, empties me, making me feel even more alone
4 seconds:
do I cry, show the world the Prince of Darkness that clings onto my body
pulling strands of my hair, slowing my world to where I stare at myself and see a mess
see the tearing across skin, my face, only my red eyes can see, when they see my reflection
it’s a happy girl, who is never too sad, but the red can see through the mask that is always glued on
or should I **** it up and keep the beast swimming through my brain
prying my mouth open, keep it inside and let it eat me alive
5 seconds:
my heart, feeling four times as heavier as it did 6 seconds before
telling me *you’re okay, it will pass, the storms almost over, the friend always there to help the in pain

even when the expression shows different
the brain, feeling four times heavier as it did 6 seconds before
telling me you’re not okay, nobody cares, see they just passed you, why would someone care?
The common enemy, the one who's always there to tear you down even when the sun shines bright
6 seconds:
to keep the phantom from attacking, breathe steadily, never miss a beat
which would you chose to believe?
The phantom, the common enemy, the one who controls your thoughts
or the friend, there to keep you running through it all?
The choice seems easy, but sometimes
the choice isn’t yours to make
anxiety attacks, this is what happens to me.

It's funny, how we used to fake glare and sneer at each other in the halls
and now they're real
It's crazy, how close we used to be
and now we couldn't be further apart
It's scary, how we were best friends
and now you won't even look at me
It's weird, how we used to talk 24/7
and now we haven't spoken a word to each other
It's sad how we used to hate people together
and now we hate each other.

the feeling where you lost someone
and you don't know what to do
the feeling when your alone
and have no one to go to
the feeling where you had someone
and they simply float away
the feeling where you scared
and all they say is ok
still working on this

I never knew it would end like this
you said it would last a long time
because it wasn't worth just giving up
because we were worth more than
just throwing it all away
I never knew we would be here
because the thought of it always ruined me
now that it actually happened
I think back to the time when
you said we were worth it
back to the fun times me had
and the laughs we shared
never would I ever have thought
we would be here
and that thought is
killing
me

we used to be bestfriends
we would always say it was going to be ok
even if we didnt believe it
we used to always laugh
we used to be happy
even if if was just for time
we used to be bestfriends
we used to be there always
even if
even if
what happened to this
even if
even if

they say life's a dream
so why not just live it..
I say life's a wish
you just have to see it
we all wish to be perfect
wish to be happy
wish to be ok
wish to be this
wish to be that
life is not a dream
