Thread: A Crumbling Mind

A thought crosses through my mind
Then vanishes like all lines so fine
For a moment sanity shined
But I can't seem to hold on to that delicate vine

Why do I keep stumbling?
Why! Oh why! is my mind crumbling?
I am falling down to my knee's
asking why?
begging please!

They come rushing towards me,
knives in hand!
I close my eyes and wait to die
But the stinging blows never land
was my mind just telling a lie?
I open my eyes but no one's their
All I see is sand

Will no one come?
Does no one care?
Any one see anguish in my stair?

If I jump do you think I could fly?
Frantically I try,
to piece together my crumbling mind!
For a moment sanity shined.

I must get back what I've lost
I have to get a grip on reality
or this will end in a fatality

Looking down from where I stand
down below all rocks and sand
Maybe I should try
perhaps I really can fly

NO!

I grasp tighter to that vine
For only with that can I find
My way back home where all is fine
To the ones that care
The ones I need
The ones that through their love
Me they have freed

I am holding that delicate vine
I fasten those thoughts tight in my mind
Sanity is once again beginning to shine!
