Desperately grasping at the edge of sanity
Attempting in vain to hold it here
Declining so tangibly fast
As my temperature plummets
And I shiver, desperate for warmth I know I will never acquire.

My eyes involuntarily glace at the heat that brings blisters
Repeatedly I see it,
Again and again,
Remembering the feel
Again and again,
Fighting my self to stay where I am physically safe.

I need something to quiet the torrent of thoughts
Continually accosting my fragile mind
And viciously shoving me closer and closer to the edge.

I shiver all over,
Goose bumps prickling my skin
I want [fire] to be warm again.
The threads of sanity start to unfurl
Looking toward this coming week.

Let downs,
Stress,
Disappointments.

Everything is everywhere
Coming from every side,
Pulling me further from a life with logical though
And toward hectic, stressful, and dangerous.
To a point I can feel I'm fragile in and out.

Falling

Apart

And

Nothing

To

Hold

Me

Together.

I . Cant . . Feel . . . The . . . . Ground.
