Spilled beverage Slowly seeping into the carpet Over washed dishes linger in the sink Foam from the sink to the floor in waves of three touches the bottom of my socks Puffs of smoke Absorb inside my lungs I've been invaded by this drug I'm weak, I'm worthless I'm out of control And people will never look at me the same My insides start to rot My world is no longer rooted in reality I enter a land of insecurities A land where my body separates from my mind I've lost every ounce of patience My mind spins, I hit the floor Trembling, perishing, disappearing My chest cavity begs for a break Barely breathing I reach for a hand A soul bound with calmness and serenity I attach my body, a mechanism of coping Because I have lost all connections to myself Heavy head, spinning trees, time has no more meaning How many times have I paced around this building? How long has my body been taken from my soul? How long until people realize that there is something terribly wrong? Like i've said there has been all along A brain tumor Or a person rotting to the core A real, living person Somebody who exists And is decaying from the inside out With no escape but waiting I want to hide I want to separate these two mixtures; these two sets of self My body and my mind They say the body and the mind work together But for me, I am betrayed by myself
