Twirling Mental Spiral

This is a poem for the mental illness contest!~

This light inside this cell is blinding

These voices in my mind are dwelling

They keep going on about how it was me

They keep going on about how my eyes just don't see

It doesn't make sense, they love people

Yet they keep me away from someone's dribble

Anxiety, depression, voices keep reeling

I can't help but think that I'm dreaming

I want to sit there and kill them all

All these people who think it's funny to continue with a drawl

I can't help but think it is due to the hard breathing that comes when you get to close

Hard social works keep me inwardly loose

One minute, though, I'm loose and then the next I'm shaking
I can't help but wondering why everything around me keeps quaking

Yet, my eyes are open and I can see

That this is the world that is damned to be

These voices will always be around

This anxiety will always make me socially drown

When the depression hits, I just want to slice into something as thick as skin

Without watching the red blood drop on to floors to stick in

For one moment, it is very light and my cell isn't so bad

And then everything turns for the worse when I realize what I used to have

This cell is supposed to keep me safe, the cell of the brain

But with the anxiety, depression and the voices I will always be insane
