The unbridled bridge between my brain

I can not cross with my heart, unless hoping to die

As the eternal unrest stirs waves untamed

It is long overdue, a useless fight i'll never win

The beasts, they live in the four corners of my mind

Cross the bridge, paying no toll

I am in debt to the troll under the bridge

They meet in the center; balancing on my spine

Hopping from one foot to another, playing hopscotch the way I did as a child

Their taunting me with memories that haunt me

I am crippled as they converse, speaking their mind

Harsh words are spat, it’s venom dripping down

My bloodstream is tainted by their cruel words

As it circulated through my body I realize I am damned

To be held hostage by figments

Figments of my imagination

Consume me,

with the dull ache of my bones

grinding as I reach out; never far enough

Eternal agony,

of the diminished muscles; I am my own burden

I see the world; the world never sees me

I let the blankets swallow me, chuckling at the absence of sight

I’m invisible to their eyes, distracted by my heavy breath

I sweat heavily and pant

Lethargy is me

I am lethargic
