MENTAL MELTDOWN

Mental meltdown.
Emotional overload.
A writer with no words,
Only feelings.
Images unending.
Inexplicable feeling.
The pen refuses
to put it all down.
Insanity in sight -
Just beyond tomorrow.
Write into death,
Then turn back a page.
Escape is all
that really matters.
Mental meltdown.
Sensory overload.
A writer with no words,
only feeling.
Dreams.
Empty pages,
empty lines.
Unreachable reason.
Unwritable thoughts.
Bird without wings.
Writing without ink.
Life without meaning.
Silent song.
Unquenchable thirst.
A lust for life,
and for dying.
Escape is all
that ever matters.
Write into death.
A writer without words,
suffering unbearable
life.
To reach reason
would allow death.
