Another patient

By unusual_blood

My body feels
uncontrollable
everything has
slipped
out of my grasp
And now these
feelings
have only
added
to this confusion
this confusion
which I no longer
can stand

I constantly am
contradicting
myself
Being the
devil's advocate
is starting to get
old
I just wanted to
find myself
Find some sort of
reality
in which to grab hold

But now
I cannot
tell the
difference
Between what is
here
and what
is
not

The path I walk
has
filled with
darkness
And there's
no more
light
to guide me
back

All these pills
fill
me with
numbness
I keep
finding
myself feeling
nothing
at all
Nothing is making
my "condition"
better
This "condition"
which is
choking
my very soul

Pain and suffering
once were my
friends
They would come over
And we'd
play
many games
But now
all that once was
familiar
has turned
blank
and
blurred
and
unknown

I'm being
burned
this very moment
A
title
is being
engraved
over my head
I've
become
just another
patient
Lying on
just another
hospital
bed

your words are angsty and morbid but the turns your language takes helps support the morose themes

If you look at the bed next to yours, you'll see me. I am the one in the emotional body cast.
