a trilogy of such sweet sensation
boggled by rampant vexation
pouring in from all sides
forcing eyes to see fire
where even smoke won't hide
trapped
the heart beats itself to death
while running from proper introduction
the world has my attention now
sleep is only a myth
that taunts insomniacs well
feeling rawly victim attic
the body
stock piles adrenaline
allowing the mouth to lie
by saying
I'm alright
despair is a heckler
for the mind of the self deceived
grid locked
by the overload meant for the physical
gives pain a new outlet and edge
medication unlike meditation
though welcome
still
it dulls one's awareness........
