Insanity
December 7, 2021
Rolling in waves it pushes through my bones
Threatening to slice them in half
Shaking my core and barricading past my lips
But the more I try to refrain it
The less it chooses to obey me
Working in a sort of tug of war
Where the more I pull the rope
The closer I am to losing
It finds its own voice in my mind
Whispering truths and lies into my ears
Until my perception becomes unclear
I can no longer distinguish the difference between morality and immorality
As my sanity gets ripped away from my hands

I was lying in bed and I remember I couldn't sleep. I grabbed a pen and a piece of paper and the words flowed onto the page with little thought. I started to question myself and my beliefs. In that moment I felt lost. This piece of writing made me realize how it was ok to feel lost because once I shared it with others, I realized that I wasn't alone.
