Crazy Tiem

a constant tick

By BrenPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

you made me question

the state of my mental health

when it was you

that was crazy all along

you knew that tune

wasn’t good for me

and so you played

the same old song

you made me question

the very fabric

that was the bedrock

of my existence

and now this

partially shattered sanity

cause yeah

it fuckin mattered to me

but not now

now

i don’t know

anymore

i try not to show

i know i won’t care

i hope i don’t feel

i don’t want to dare

so now

i don’t know

anymore

bleating and bleeding

wanting and needing

yeah and now

i don’t know

anymore

it’s a buzz in my ear

my dour my cheer

the taste of my fear

it’s why i’m still here

and that is still why

i let it assume me

and that is still why

i let it consume me

i let these dizzy circles

spin on their own

a flurry of senseless

poorly aimed enthusiasm

slows to backwards

in reverse

and then

this is not

anything

that i know

anymore
