Frantic
By Lab Rat
The moments spinning forever
inside this head of mine, shouting
screaming
beating
against the inside of my skull
the absence of my leveled self
Manic me sweetly off to speed
Slapped with a septic injection of adrenaline
I did not ask for
Frantic
panic
static screaming and shifting
It could be perfection though skeptic retaliation
on the other side
The downswing is killer
I have seen enough, spitting out volumes
In the moments between slumber, symptoms
A bloody pen hovering over paper
My own crime caper
I'm the villain, and the victim
This addiction taking my sight
This fight, flight across the spires
the
Towers
That spin skyward in front of this Mad King
I've led myself astray, got lost down paths
To stumble home again
Feet broken
cut
bleeding
I'm reeling, punch drunk and
Feeling
That the times to turn back
And nearly gone
fleeting

This conjures up memories of a frantic life I use to know...very well put and although this type of poem could be applied to many themes there's only one that it fits too well for me. Great work.
