I've been stuck inside a maze
with no easy way to see
and
if i could light this fire
then just maybe I could leave

There are moments when my efforts win
down crumbles my borders
I'll take a step and then the next moment the path becomes

a corner.  

                      I don't know how I got here

and its scary to believe
that I tricked myself to coming
making me my own worst enemy
I lost all of my memories
but I will not forget  
how it feels to not remember that an outside world exists.

Tomorrow's never promised
Yesterday has passed
haven't kept up with the present
and nobody's ever asked
the last time i made the rash decision not to think
I took all my common sense
                                                 and I
                                                         poured
                                                                      it
                                                                      in
                                                                         a drink


See I don't know how I got here



but one thing is for sure
all my thoughts are corrupted but
Reality is pure
these labyrinth walls whisper
but what's really in my ear
screams
"the only way to exit is to realize you are here"
A poem I wrote in the midst of my psychosis and the peak of my anxiety.  Enjoy!
