Turned off the gravity to lessen the weight of my shadows.
But did that ever work, or was the melt down what follows.
Trying to focus on anything other than me,
Maybe that made it easier when it was I who undid me.

You can live in a dispassionate, destructive state,
You can keep adding worries and doubts piling up your plate,
Darkness falls like an avalanche moving at an exponential rate,
Its not 1 into 2 but 1 into 3 then 3 into 9,
Then when every part of your persona is taken apart by its design.

Who is left and who am I?
What is left when the birds won't fly.
Who will care when the clock strikes 12,
When the day is over and your down on yourself.

When the world has had it's pound of flesh but still wants more.
The fatigue is suffocating expanding from my core,
It fills me up until it leaks like tar from my pores,
Muddles my mind twisting 1 thing into a 1000 thoughts.

Your breath gets taken
your chest is tight.
you try to grasp
with all your might
the world gets dark the light is gone.
you wonder what you did wrong.
is this the end is life really endingĀ 
you start to reflect on all the pretending
then all of a sudden with a mighty gasp.
you get your breath back. oh gosh. at last.
your heart rate lowers you're finally back.
thank God it was just a panic attack.

— The End —
