It Looms
It Looms
It looms as I breathe in, it almost feels like I'm dreaming
I've stopped living on nostalgia and am left with a cold raw reality
Every memory turned bad and every thought turning my face a different shade of red
I'm embarrassed for an alternate me one that had not existed but one I've now created
Daydreaming I'm trembling, something is wrong the air hitched in my throat... I stay quite and smile
I know of course that this very smile will be one I over analyse
As I overexert myself just enough before bedtime that I can't sleep
What do you do if you can't sleep...you think
So I'm motionless with checklists and misinterpreted versions of events buzzing around my head
No memory is safe as I turn each portrayal of me into just another enemy
it had been looming all day and finally my mind has been led astray.
