Blanket State

[Bunx]

Original

It happened again,
the worst fear,
minds greatest sin.

Slipping suddenly down
the rabbit hole.
Where wronging oneself
is routine.

Wronging others
something never pleasing.

Locked away behind a teal shirt
and pants. Swallowing little
pink pills.

Each day I see the glass wall
thickening.

I can't speak.
Laughter, a distant memory.
Is this the cost of sanity?

Tears dry up.
Cares seem to simmer away
boiling rapidly before they are gone.

It happened again.
Standing in a daze,
a maze of my own humanity.
