#losingmymind
I fought so hard to get out of this hole. Lost so much to make myself whole. Given up a lot to give peace to my soul. Now it's as if nothing matters anymore I'm slowly fading  back to the abyss, It stares at me and everything seems amiss Confusion blocking my thoughts, Like chains welded to every idea before it forms Last time i said i would be fine But as i sip from this bottle of white wine Trying to forget , or maybe trying to remember When was the last time i tried leaving this chamber? I call it my mind but it feels like a cage It traps me inside but now i want to fade, Into the background where i can be free Free from judgment , free from punishment I look at the table where i put my blade As i fade , i ask myself what it would take To feel better like sunshine on my face To stop running from all my mistakes The thoughts of killing myself come rushing through my brain I need a release perhaps a distraction from the pain I start cutting and feel numb , i feel nothing but this blade, on my skin and tell myself ,"Let me fade today, fight again another day."

Fade
My mind wants to sleep, But my body stays awake. I'm starting to wonder If my body's a ********* Because all it does is ache

Not a wonderland, but a *********
It's funny. If there was one thing people could agree on, It's that we didn't have enough time. But now that we have all the time In the world, we're slowly losing our minds

Cabin fever
I wish I could just make myself into the person you want me to be. Even though for some reason you keep telling me to be myself. What if you don’t like her? What if I don’t like her? Because the person I’ve known to be me, I don’t like. I don’t like how she looks. I don’t like how she talks. But, no one hears that. It’s all in my mind. If I want change, why don’t I change? These days it really feels as though I am truly going insane.

\ losing my mind /
bright red bubbles pop from underneath my feet red as cherry trees that won't grow can this be blood? dirt from in between my toenails i wash off Mother Nature's skin a leaking coming from my eyes that washes away dissatisfaction can these be tears? the sound of feet against the ground solid and unloving i slip face down into the ground can this be where life comes from? an old lady plants flowers in her garden can this be inspiration? i am losing my train of thought can this brain be me?

"I think I am losing my mind" "At least you have a mind to lose"

idk what this is
My mind is slipping in and out of crazy, That fine line between sanity and insanity looks almost blurry and hazy.
