My head feels heavy
and arms do too, my mind feels
weary, can’t enjoy
the view — finding myself lost,
confused in a daze — these days
Concentration is
fleeting, what is it you said?
The room is silent,
yet — so much noise in my head
Moments of clarity, brief
I open my mouth
there are no words that I speak
conversation is
too hard — remember to breathe
Inhale, exhale, then repeat
Am I losing my
mind? No, that’s long gone my dear
Rationale thoughts still
elude me, feeding the fear
Afraid of what I can’t control
Hoping tomorrow
I will feel the light, take it
day by day, never
give up the fight — determined
to live my best life, in spite
Thrive, don’t just survive
