My Thoughts are fleeting shadows Never deeply profound, only shallow For I cannot grasp one thought clear, The instant I have one it disappears. In mind there seems continual races, Thoughts run to hide in dark places, I can't seem to concentrate very long By the time I have a memory it's gone. Like the pages of a book turning to fast Before I can read the first, I'm at the last, My mind fast forwards until present time Then just as quickly it begins to rewind. I feel like I'm lost in time and space, No longer a part of the human race, In despair I scream look at me! I'm here! But the darkness of my mind doesn't care. Each day my thoughts grow dimmer Until now there is only a glimmer Of who I am or where I should be And confusion clouds all that I see. I stand before the mirror and stare Wondering who the person is there, I'm really not sure I know the face For my mind is now in another place. I am to dwell in the hell of the unknown My past, present and future are gone, I can't remember who I am anymore, My chaotic mind has closed sanity's door. ©Written by: Kenneth J.
