Running moving trying to keep breathing
Thoughts   of    escape             fleeting
As the abysmal hands of uncertainty unwind
Wrapping around pulling me down
Falling through
                                        thoughts
                                                                    memories
Into a pool of fears and worries
Where everything becomes blurry
Choking on my reasons to fight
The promises the future might write
Now seem like a dream that just might….

Darkness where light should be
Breathe
Emptiness where hope once lived
Breathe just breath

A voice chants somewhere deep within the mind
Will this mantra save or just mollify
This torturous state of mind?

A disease it slowly and unknowingly spreads
Until surreptitiously it finds the perfect place to hide
Ramifying through every bone and vein
Till everything seems to be done in vain  
Hence its name … Perfection
