Drip

Drip,

A thought goes down a deep, dark, rabbit hole.

Drip,

There goes another.

Drip,

There’s no end in sight.

Drip,

You hear it at the bottom.

Drip,

There is a splash of previous thoughts gone.

Swish,

There’s just emptiness,

Swirling,

Falling into a void.

It’s like a vacuum

Sucking in what’s left of my sanity.

Once there’s a stream,

The rest goes with it quite rapidly

The clarity of my state of mind starts to dwindle

With thought after thought going missing 

Into the deep dark hole with no ends in sight

My body clings to reality

While my head is lost in the void

For it has fallen too

At least, much of it has

The rest that’s left is mad

It’s sending mixed signals

It’s fighting for life

A life that’s already been given

In a stable place with no strife

There’s no reason to panic

No reason to strike

Those around you that you bite

You look for any piece of solace

That can calm your state of mind.
