A ghost haunts the core of my being It's taking control of every aspect of life. A cold dead puppet wide eyed full of doubt and fear Animates itself as it dissipates into the mist. The numb feeling washes over Like water lapping at the shore. But no warm sandy beach is this, No. The ice cold waters envelope me And hurl me against the jagged stones and boulders. Over and over As the undertow sweeps me in again I can't help but open myself to the void As I rush from the hardened stones And back into everlasting blackness. Weightless Helpless Terrified And weak. The panic and strain rises When fight or flight doesn't work. Let it in Let the ice water in. Let it rush into every crevice or your inner body As you sink like a stone into the bottom of the sea. The void hath taken another
