What if I’m losing the one thing that keeps me grounded in reality?
I have a gut feeling that it’s going away
And I have no way of holding on
If it goes away then I will slip
Into the worlds in my mind
Once I am present in them I remove myself from reality
The one thing that brings me back every time
Will no longer be here to anchor me to life
I will fade off this earth by existing only in my mind
When I am in this state, bad things happen
Nothing will be there to wake me up
Nothing will be there to stop my hand
When my brain runs out my sanity
I will need it to all end
And nothing will stop the numbness
Because I will lose the one thing
That kept me out of my head
And in reality
It won’t be there
Gone
Left
And I
Forgotten
