Spiderwebbed Fractures

suffering painless attacks of anxiety
within a shell where light penetrates the darkness
through spiderwebbed fractures
my shadow is my companion here
myself is my foe
in darkness I trust not
for my own senses will betray

through sight I see my death dance before me
across my
eyes it exists only for me
fading and melding with the forms of my companion
falling out of my periphery
and back again in its torturous display
no... I cannot trust here

within my ears the screams of my psyche shatter the silence
but do not really exist
they are placed here only for me and I alone can hear their agony
even with this realization I am terrified of them
the screams that resonate and echo from within my head
paralyze me to my core

I smell the decay of sanity within my darkened shell
my life deteriorates
and though I am witness to its demise
I feel helpless against its degradation
nothing can I do the slow its process
although I know it is within my power
I make no motion to stop its advance
