Dementophobia

Am I going insane?
I stare at the clock as it spins
time, is it real?
or is this all a figment of my imagination

something all in my dreams
but I have dreamt the nightmare all too long
is it non-fiction?
tell me before it is too late

I'm trapped in this labyrinth
pondering what I should do
Am I going insane?
the fear consumes me

it feels as if there is a rubber band over me
crushing my chest
my heart begins racing ,
my lungs gasping for air

run onto the streets
sweating wildly
taking short quick breathes
as I enter the hospital

time starts to pass
but I'm frozen in a trance of pain
as I watch these people in their normal lives ...
I wonder, Am I going insane?

 

I find myself looking at the same fate

the same question I cannot answer myself

as I turn to the door

and walk away ....

    I really like the line about the rubber band around your chest, very good mental picture!

    I think we all sometimes find ourselves asking the question 'is it real' or 'am I losing my mind?' I think by asking the question, we know we are not for if we are mad, we would not have enough sanity to comprehend the idea of us being insane. That's what I say to myself.
