I was living normal, when there was happiness inside my body I never thought to plan for a future that would be ruined from someone closest to me… Not a stranger, Not a neighbour, Not a friend, Not a family member; But myself. My brain stopped working So my mind stopped protecting me I lost the shield that stayed in front of me So I became shattered I couldn’t pick up the pieces to make myself whole again And that’s when it all started to happen; All this anger,All this anxiety, All these moodswings It was like a new world; one that I created I had to figure out the path to normality but I couldn’t All these wires attacked to the pieces, became black And those pieces grew dark; Too dark for me to put back together The past became my nightmares And the regrets became my fears I trapped myself with the new me I didn’t recognize myself anymore I felt like my own mind took the life out of me I had years of empty responses about who I was I couldn’t think of who was hidden, and who was found The times that I was out of control felt like I was being taken over by a demon I wanted freedom from myself Uncontrollable thoughts & actions are the reason my confusion began The darkness surrounded me, stole all the light inside of me The strength that I had suddenly disappeared, I couldn’t handle myself, and I became weak With these outbursts, and intense emotions, I lost myself And now all my wires have been cut I was forced to start all over But not normal; but insane I figured out that I rewired my brain, Then memorized the pain. I became numb, And never saw myself again
