M.E.M.

Relentless Breakdown

One thing is all it takes to tip the scales.

My mind is fragile; it can’t take much more.

Stuck in a cyclone, my mind off the rails

Hyperventilating, then on the floor.

My arms go numb, from shoulder to finger

Like carpal tunnel, my hands frozen shut

This sensation is one that will linger.

Heart rate increases, then stuck in a rut

White hot tears streak my face like liquid fire

Holding back the sobs gives me a headache.

My body never seems to want to tire.

It’s shudders, that make my body quake

I’ve reached new cataclysmic proportions

My mind goes blank and creates distortions.
