The Madness Within

Slipping back
And forth
Sliding into
This downward
Spiral.
My legs shake
As I try to get up
I look desperately
Trying to find
A way out.
I try to get a grip
On this insanity
But this doesn't
Feel insane.
I hold onto reality
For as long as
I can before
It slips away
And drifts through
Time
Like a balloon
In the wind.
I just pray it's
Not too late
And sanity doesn't
Pass
Me
By.
