Dissociate
An acrostic poem.
Dang.
I lost myself again.
Staring;
Trepedatiously into the void,
Realizing reality is gone.
Again.
Can't let myself wander
Too long or I fall apart completely.
Indefinite pauses lead to lapses in judgment.
Obfuscated thoughts, tongue-tied, stuck in the mud -
Never finding a way out until I'm drowning in to-dos.
