Thoughts unravel, threads undone
A shifting mind on the run
Memories fade like distant stars
Flickering out behind locked bars
Triggers pull me into night
Where shadows drown the fading light
A fractured past, a future blurred
In a world where nothing is assured
Blackouts come and time stands still
A sudden void against my will
Reality bends, then disappears
I’m left alone with restless fears
Faces fade and voices stray
I lose the moments day by day
Fragments slip and then they’re gone
Like fleeting glimpses of a dawn
Highs and lows, a ceaseless stream
Caught in the in-between
I gather pieces bit by bit
Trying to make the fragments fit
Elizabeth Aug 27
In sterile halls where shadows cling
I pace alone, unsure of anything
Faces blur and voices hum
An endless noise, a constant drum
They tell me I'm safe but I can’t see  
Why I'm here or who I used to be
Fragments twist in fractured light
Day bleeds into restless night
Pills and whispers, a heavy door
Who was I before this war?
Lost between extremes so wild
Trapped inside, a wayward child
The walls are white, the air is still
Yet in my mind the echoes spill
Consumed by thoughts that aren't my own
Confined in a place far from home
They say I’m sick, that time will heal
But nothing here feels truly real  
I'm left to drift in numb unknowns  
A stranger here, within these bones

In the whirl of a tornado’s spin
Thoughts scatter, where to begin?  
Voices echo, shadows hide 
Paranoia’s whispers twist inside
Fragments of dreams, a mind in a spin  
Lost between worlds both out and within
Reality warps in the swirling blast
Moments of calm are fleeting fast
Faces distorted, their meanings unclear
Truth becomes distant, intertwined in fear
Eyes in the shadows, voices that cling
A chorus of doubt where silence should sing
Yet beneath the noise a quiet plea
To find who I am in all I can’t see
Through the storm I hope for a day
Where the noise fades softly and I find my way

I dance where shadows blend with light  
In steps where fractured thoughts take flight
I spin through realms both sharp and wide
A dance of chaos, lost inside
The darkness whispers, the light reveals  
A dance where every step conceals
In every turn, the world’s unclear  
A dance with voices far and near
Through shifting beats and restless sway
I move within a tangled day

In my darkest, deepest night
A gentle purr became my light
He curled beside me, soft and near
A quiet presence, calm and clear
With every breath he eased my pain
A silent friend who broke the chain
He saved my life with just a touch
A cat whose love meant so much
Elizabeth Aug 10
In a world where shadows twist and turn
Voices hiss and my thoughts burn
Delusions blur the night and day
Paranoia whispers that I’ve lost my way
A heavy darkness calls me near
Promising peace from all I fear
Yet in the depths a flicker stays
A fragile light that fights the haze
